Fiona Watts

After growing up on a dairy farm in South Taranaki, New Zealand, Fiona Watts spent many years as a herd tester in the region before working in Australia and the United Kingdom. After returning from her overseas adventures, she applied for entry to teachers’ college. Now more than 10 years into her teaching career, which has encompassed all levels from new entrants to year 8, she has never looked back. She is currently teaching a year 5–8 class in a rural school on the Coromandel Peninsula.
