Ko Leonie tōku inoga
Kia ora, I am the Lead Librarian at Sacred Heart Girls’ College Hamilton and have been working in high school libraries since 2017.
I am passionate about encouraging students and staff to develop a lifelong love of reading by fostering a culture of reading across the school. I enjoy promoting the library and its resources through creative displays, clubs and activities and my self professed super power is matching people to books. My vision for my school library is a future-focused learning space with a strong focus on learning, literacy and wellbeing. It is important to me that the Library is a safe and inclusive space for everyone.
I am the Mum to three adult children and enjoy reading extensively and knitting in my spare time.
I first joined the WaiBOP SLANZA committee in 2018 and after a break rejoined in 2022 when I took on the role of the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty representative on the SLANZA National Executive. I love that by being part of SLANZA we can have a hands-on approach to school library advocacy in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Kia kaha te Pānui!
