Karla Hull - Leading a Beach School

Today’s guest is Karla Hull, Principal of Te Puru School. Karla has a strong connection with her community and this really shines through in her leadership and drive to make a difference for her learners. From paddle-boarding and fishing at lunchtime, to developing their own beach school curriculum based on Maramataka (moon phases), Te Puru School fosters exploration through hands-on, outdoor learning experiences.

In this episode of Education Heroes, Karla tells her journey to becoming a Principal and shares insight into leading a ‘beach’ school with a student-centred, place-based curriculum.
