Introducing Mr Palmer

Kia ora koutou,

For anyone new to my class, I wanted to quickly introduce myself! Many of you might already know me from Wānanga last year, or maybe even back in 2024.

Before I got into teaching, I studied Science and Horticulture at Lincoln University and spent time working in a plant nursery, landscaping, and growing glasshouse tomatoes. I’ve been at HHS for the last ten years teaching Science and PE, and working in Learning Support. Before that, I was mostly an Art teacher at a few primary schools around Christchurch—Halswell, Chisnallwood, Linwood, Manning, and Oaklands.

Outside of school, I love getting outdoors and keeping active. You’ll usually find me out biking, tramping, running, or skiing.

Ngā mihi,

Mr Palmer
