We’re proud to partner with the Ministry of Education to spotlight the most inspiring teachers across Aotearoa.

From the legends who taught us our first lessons to the superstars guiding our tamariki today, we want to know who made the biggest impact on your journey.

Nominate your Hero of the Classroom with Mai FM, More FM or Breeze here. If they’ve made a difference, we want to hear about it.

We will show up and give them a special surprise.

Check out the teachers we’ve visited and surprised so far, as nominated by you!
