Rowena supports students as they come to grips with the requirements of academic study, working with individuals or small tutorial groups on everything from time management and study planning to research, resourcing, and shaping an academic essay. She helps unravel two questions that trouble every student: “What does this question mean?” and “How do I reference this?”
Rowena offers academic and pastoral support to students on the Christchurch campus, and loves seeing students move from nervousness to competence, helping them find a way to manage study alongside life’s curveballs. She also engages in life-shaping conversations around programme and course selection, particularly for Theology students on the Christchurch campus and those studying by distance — contributing, as part of the wider Student Experience team, to a smooth progression from enquiries to graduation.
Outside of Laidlaw, Rowena is a registered Marriage Celebrant, preaches at Anglican churches in her locale, and enjoys pulling weeds from her garden paths while watching the tides and seasons come and go. As a founding trustee, she also keeps an eye on Sonrise Christian School in Gisborne — though these days, her eye is more often on her delightful grandchildren.
