Kia ora, I'm Cushla Young

With over 25 years of experience, working at the coal face and the forefront of both tertiary and primary education, I want to share what I know works.

I have spent my career pushing boundaries, creating an innovative and practical pedagogical model, working collaboratively and leading teams. Leadership, curriculum development, change management and revolutionising education is what gets me up in the mornings.

Over the past 9 years, Cushla has provided me with encouragement, mentorship and professional advice. Cushla leads by example and creates an environment with her colleagues that is safe, inclusive and allows them to flourish in their own passions and vision whilst keeping the child at the centre. Personally, I would recommend Cushla to anyone wanting honest, kind and specific feedback, mentoring and coaching. She comes with a can do attitude and always sees the way through the most difficult of situations.
