Ko Ida Zeigler te waka,

Ko Whakaahurangi te marae,

Ko Rowe tōku whānau,

No Ngaere ahau,

Ko Tumuaki o te kura o Whakaahu, Avon School,

Ko Lisa tōku ingoa.

Well we have started with a few new teaches in our team and are really excited for them to start their teaching careers with us!

We'd like to welcome Brittany Simpson who has just completed two years of teacher placement training through Midhirst and will be in our Year 1-2 class. 

Jessica Graham joins us too in our Year 5-6 class. She has joined teaching after a number of years in the private sector. 

We have Mr Mark Hill at Year 7-8 and Tessa Reid in the Year 3-4, they are both very experienced teachers with a strong passion for teaching and learning for all of our ākonga.

Our new values of Kaitiaki, Ako, Mana Motuhake, Aroha - KAMA, meaning to be quick, eager, keen and willing to learn are now underpinning all we do at te kura o Whakaahu.
