Our People

Get to know the wonderful teachers, staff and volunteers at our Auckland Steiner school. Extraordinary teachers make all the difference to learning. Working at Michael Park School requires a passion that goes beyond a nine to five job; this is a place where staff give that little bit extra and get a whole lot more back. Each of them has something unique to say about their place within the school.
