My Teaching Goal
My Teaching Goal
My goal is help students gain the experience and skills they need to become independent, resourceful, and resilient life-long learners.
To do this I must:
Establish a positive and strong triadic relationship between teacher, student, and caregiver.
Get to know who my students are so their learning experiences can be suited to their needs.
Create open channels of communication with students and caregivers, so expectations are clear.
Provide a safe space for students and caregivers to share their culture, without judgement.
A Bit About My Background
A Bit About My Background
I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines before moving to Auckland, New Zealand with my family in 2002. I quickly adapted to life in New Zealand and had a wonderful experience as a student at Birkdale Primary, Birkdale Intermediate, and Birkenhead College. I have always had a lot of energy and have been involved in various extracurricular activities, including singing, playing the violin, acting, and curling. I even had the opportunity to represent New Zealand in various competitions, including the 2012 Youth Olympic Games, 2018 World Championships as a player, and 2018 World Junior Championships as a commentator.
In addition to competing, I have also been actively involved in the curling community. I am the Auckland Secondary Schools Competition Organizer and the Youth Development Programme Coordinator for the Auckland Curling Club.
Ever since my time in intermediate school, I have had a passion for community service and leadership. I got involved with the Kaipatiki Youth Advisory group and the North Shore Youth Council, and even served as Head Girl in 2012. This passion has continued to grow throughout my education and career, and I now hold the role of Junior Leadership Coordinator at Massey High School.
I pursued my undergraduate degree in Bachelor of Science majoring in Biomedical Science at the University of Auckland, followed by a Postgraduate Diploma and a Master of Biomedical Science, with a focus on Reproductive Science. While considering a PhD, I worked as a research assistant under Dr. Lynsey Cree (Obstetrics & Gynaecology) and Dr. Dorit Naot (Bone & Joint). Through these experiences, I realized that my true passion was working with and mentoring undergraduate students. I then decided to pursue a Master of Teaching and Education Leadership, and was fortunate to receive funding through the Ako Matātupu Teach First scholarship. I am confident that this was the best decision of my career and I am excited to continue making a positive impact in the lives of young people.

Kia ora e te whānau! Welcome to my Teaching website, Lemonade-Ed. My name is Mrs. Eleanor Heald, and I am here to help you lead your learning.
Kia ora e te whānau! Welcome to my Teaching website, Lemonade-Ed. My name is Mrs. Eleanor Heald, and I am here to help you lead your learning.
Are you ready to take your learning to the next level? Look no further than Lemonade-Ed, my dedicated teaching website where I, a high school teacher of biology, science, and leadership, strive to provide my students and their families with access to the resources and information they need to succeed in the classroom.
I created Lemonade-Ed in 2019 with the goal of fostering clear communication and organisation for my students and their families. With all of my lesson materials, activities, homework, and assessment details in one central location, students can take ownership of their learning and parents can stay informed about what we cover in class. Plus, the website includes a year planner for each course, so you can stay on top of your schedule and plan ahead for success.
But that's not all. I understand the challenges that come with absenteeism, which is why I made all materials readily available on the website. It's become a valuable tool for both myself and my students, promoting efficient and effective communication and organization.
I am committed to keeping the website updated and relevant, but please note that as a teacher, my time is often limited. Nonetheless, I always use the website in my classes and encourage my students to do the same.
So, what are you waiting for? Dive into Lemonade-Ed and take control of your learning journey. And if you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to reach out to me in person or via email at eheald@masseyhigh.school.nz, and I'll be happy to guide you in the right direction.
Have you heard of this famous saying?
Have you heard of this famous saying?
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
It is used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude when the going gets tough. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life; making lemonade is turning them into something positive.
Throughout 2023, a few lemons may get hurled at you. So I want this website, Lemonade-Ed, to be the space you can rely on to find the information you need to make lemonade.
