A beautiful teacher who lovingly inspired and nurtured everyone that she taught. I was taught by Mrs Yule at PNGHS and lucky enough to have her as my form teacher too. Mrs Yule you were a very special lady who will always be remembered for your sincere and genuine approach to teaching. Sending my condolences to Mrs Yule´s family. Marsha Shearman (Class of 97´)

Mrs Yule was a beautiful teacher. Always showed care and was so authentic with students at PNGHS. So sorry to hear of her passing! She was a valued teacher and cared for many of the Maori/Pacific students. She was genuinely kind and it always showed in her actions.
Sending love and condolences to her family during this time. Alofaaga-

Mrs Yule taught me at Palmerston North Girls High School 20 years ago.
She would stand on a chair and quote Shakespeare for us. Always an engaging teacher.
I'm living in London and 2 weeks ago I visited Stratford upon Avon and saw Shakespeare grave. I thought of Mrs Yule and her love of Shakespeare. I was able to quote to the kids in the car on the way up 'To Be Or Not to Be' as Mrs Yule had gotten the whole class to learn it off by heart and I still remember it.
Thank you Mrs Yule, now you have the perchance to dream.
