Running a schoolโ€™s international programme during a global pandemic, while moving to teaching online as New Zealand went into lockdown, was no easy task.
But it was one Wellington teacher Caroline Robertson rose to.
Robertson, a German teacher and director of international students at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, won the inaugural ASG Parentsโ€™ Award at the National Excellence in Teaching Awards, held virtually on Tuesday night.
Robertson, known to her students (and some parents) affectionately as Frau, said she felt humbled, and a bit overwhelmed, to have received the award.

Shree and Balu arenโ€™t known for taking shortcuts.
Good things take time and the couple know this. And this is what makes their food so special.
At the Harbourside Market on Wellingtonโ€™s waterfront every Sunday, Shree Balasubramaniam and Balu Rajagopal are famous for their South-Indian masala dosa.
The dish consists of a crunchy golden pancake-like roll made from rice and lentils, which are soaked and stone ground and then fermented for five days.
The batter is spread across a hotplate, then artfully rolled up to resemble a tent and placed on a plate on top of two tasty curries โ€“ one potato masala and the other, tamarind and orange.
