Kai ora. I'm Bridget McLaughlin, and I'm loving being back at Te Totara School where I started my teaching career in 2013. I am looking forward to supporting my new class of 2024 learners. I have a passion for gardening, and aim to bring this passion into our classroom.

I'm married to Brendon, and have two teenage sons. I also have Sam, our dog, five chickens and two sheep at home.

I love pottering around in my greenhouses, collecting roses and growing vegetables. I also enjoy spending time in the bush either running or tramping.

I am looking forward to meeting Neptune 26's families, so please come and say hi!
