Carol Moffatt- For Services to Education

Carol Moffatt has hit the headlines today as she has become a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to education.

However, further digging has revealed she received the order in 1997 for services to rural schools.

The CORE Education director and champion of education has spent 41 years in education beginning in Cashmere High as the head of the music department in the 1970s.

She worked as a secondary inspector, principal and has been engaged in just about every area of the education community.

Her work with the Ministry of Education between 1998-2003 involved developing two ICT strategies and building a Ministry team which developed several major initiatives including TKI, ICT professional development for teachers, laptops for teachers and Project Probe.

In 2009 she was appointed the project manager of the Greater Christchurch Schools Network – a project creating a community of connected schools, teaching professionals and educational resources around Canterbury.


Her contribution to education is far from over…
