ECE CENTRE DIRECTOR IMPRESSED WITH NZTC GRADUATES
Philippa Terei is proud to work alongside confident, competent educators.
A Centre Director of 25 years, Philippa Terei is impressed with
the quality of New Zealand Tertiary College (NZTC)’s graduates
and student teachers – many of whom are employed at her
centre in Milford, Auckland.
“I have the privilege of working alongside NZTC graduates in my
centre, and have observed the quality of their knowledge and
their practical implementation of this in practice. It is wonderful
to see they have a good understanding of theory and current
trends in education, gained through NZTC’s programs which
offer a strong ECE foundation.
“I also find it extremely rewarding having the opportunity to
mentor and support the development of our student teachers
for the Field Practice component of their studies, especially when
they end up becoming staff members with us upon graduation.”

“Displaying a friendly, welcoming and caring personality is
important; along with an ability to embrace flexibility and work
well with others. It is important that those who join our team
also hold the same values and philosophy as our centre.”
For aspiring educators considering a career in ECE, Philippa says
there are many positive employment opportunities available.
“At present, there are a number of vacancies throughout New
Zealand for qualified teachers. I know of NZTC graduates who
have all had multiple job offers, which has allowed them to select
a centre that best suits their teaching philosophy and preferred
working conditions.”

confined to a classroom all day. This means more time can be spent exploring the great
outdoors and all of the natural treasures to be found there…
