From Masterton to China A Wairarapa teacher’s next adventure awaits Erin Kavanagh-Hall While teaching in Wairarapa, Myra Coley has been passionate about opening her students’ eyes to the wider world. Now, the veteran educator and keen traveller is heading off on her own international adventure – following a fellow Masterton teacher to a new post in China. After a heartfelt farewell from students and staff, Coley stepped down as deputy principal at Makoura College at the end of Term 2. Next month, she and her young family will head to China, where she has secured a teaching job at Rong Qiao Sedbergh School, an international school for junior and secondary pupils, in the Fujian Province, south of Beijing. During her three-year contract with the school, her family will be based in Fuzhou, one of China’s new cities – vast, sprawling, futuristic hubs, designed to urbanise country and stimulate economic growth. Coley will be the second New Zealander to join Rong Qiao Sedbergh’s multicultural team – the first being Campbell Maunder, former deputy
