TRACEY RICKIT BTchg - Primary, MMP - Graduate. Year 3 Classroom Teacher Hautapu School, Waikato

Tracey found that the Bachelor of Teaching Primary MMP programme was the perfect fit for her busy lifestyle. With three children, she found that the flexibility of the MMP programme allowed the opportunity to achieve her goal of becoming a teacher while still having time for family.

It is clear to anyone who steps into Tracey’s classroom that she is passionate about her students’ learning. She incorporates the use of digital technologies, such as laptops and iPads, in order to engage her class of 21st century learners. She also finds many ways of bringing the rural surroundings of the school into the classroom. She has found ways of having her students learn about various animals in a hands-on way including goats, chickens, and even lizards! Tracey’s students enjoy her energetic teaching style and cannot get enough of Mrs Rickit’s right-hand man, Nelson, the class pet rat.

Tracey loves that teaching allows her to truly be herself, and gives her a chance to channel her creativity into work that is rewarding and fulfilling. She believes that after years of working in other fields, and studying other subjects, she has found her perfect fit as a primary school teacher.
