Michelle Hall

Michelle is a Dance and Drama specialist teacher at Gisborne Intermediate School. Every student attends classes in drama and dance throughout a rotation system with other technology and art subjects. Michelle has been teaching in Gisborne for just over 12 years and her passion in drama grew from involvement in a local theatre group. Seeing the potential to use drama as a pedagogical tool for teaching and learning across a variety of subjects is what sparked her study through Waikato University to gain a Master of Education degree earlier this year. Michelle is involved in other areas of the arts through music where she plays cello in a community orchestra and teaches students in an after school programme. Michelle enjoys a busy life with her family - husband and three boys who are also involved in many arts activities through their schools and community groups.
