Ms. Bridget Maher is originally from New Zealand but her father was a pilot so they lived all over growing up including LA, London and even Hong Kong for a short time in ’96. Ms. Maher went to university in Bristol, England before training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). She has a dog called Flora who is 14 this year! She joins us at AIS this year as our new Middle School Performance teacher!

I was looking for an adventure and a change in my career and remember my time in Hong Kong as a child very fondly. I saw a position advertised for MS Performance and was instantly drawn to it.

There is a real sense of community here. Everyone has been so welcoming and I’ve settled in quickly. The core values of Love, Knowledge and Justice really are imbued into the way we teach here which I love.

I like to play the piano after a long day to wind down. During my holidays I like to write and I finished my first screenplay over the summer. I’m also looking forward to doing some of the amazing hikes that HK has to offer.

I’m a creature of habit and have a marmite and cheese sandwich every day.
