Tēnā koutou, Ko Emma Kingston tōku ingoa. I oversee the leadership programmes for Growth Culture, as well as acting as kaiārahi for the Emerging programme.
I am a primary trained teacher who has worked in state and state-integrated schools, comprising single cell and open learning configurations. I have led many workshops and conference sessions on pedagogy; as well as facilitating, coaching and mentoring for a number of years across primary, intermediate and secondary schools. My last full time role was as a Deputy Principal where, as part of a strong team, we were tasked with transforming all aspects of a school in crisis. I subsequently transitioned to part time pedagogical and leadership coaching roles when I had my own children. At Growth Culture, I am excited to help to grow and empower newer leaders in schools to achieve positive outcomes for staff and children alike.
Outside of work, I have two boys, aged two and a half and six who keep me occupied! I enjoy cooking, eating, sailing, reading and family, whilst constantly living in a mess of renovations!
