Holli Williams

I graduated from the University of Otago, College of Education in 2017. Since then, I have been working as a classroom teacher at a beautiful Primary School based in Wellington New Zealand, nestled between the bush and the beach. I have taught in both the Year 3/4 and 5/6 cohorts for the past 6 years and became Head of PE alongside my classroom teaching role in 2021. I am now seeking a new adventure, and am incredibly excited to have the opportunity to work at SAFA, and to live in Dubai. I am very passionate about my students, school and community, and believe in creating an environment that supports and encourages children to be risk-takers, critical thinkers, to take ownership of their learning and to love learning. I pride myself on having strong, positive relationships with all of my students. I have a strong foundation in teaching Mathematics, and am extremely passionate about this curriculum subject. I​ ​am​ ​able​ ​to​ ​offer​ ​children​ ​opportunities​ ​to​ ​access​ ​maths​ ​in an authentic,​ ​hands-on​ ​context​ ​which​ ​directly​ ​relates​ ​to​ ​their ​everyday​ ​lives. I am truly passionate about igniting in children a lifelong love of, and desire for learning.
