Ākomanga - Classrooms 2026

Tēnā koutou katoa, I am very proud to be joining Avon School as the year 1-2 Kaiako. 

I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment where all tamariki feel valued and encouraged to succeed. 

I look forward to building strong and respectful relationships with ākonga, whānau and the wider community. 

I am passionate about sport and value the opportunity to teach and engage in a variety of sporting experiences. I also enjoy exploring creatively through art and science.

Tēnā koutou, I am very proud to be the Deputy Principal at Avon School and this year I am the Kaiako of an amazing Year 1-2 class.

I take great pride in building positive relationships with students, their whānau and our school community. 

I have been lucky enough to be part of the Avon School family for a number of years almost to the point of being part of the furniture :)

There are so many wonderful things to love about Avon School and it holds a special place in my heart. 

Kia Ora, I am excited to be joining Avon school as year 5-6 Kaiako.

I feel passionately about creating an uplifting and inclusive learning environment for the tamariki, and developing their confidence and independence inside and outside of the kura. 

I enjoy writing and reading, and love to integrate arts and drama into lessons when possible. 

I look forward to making connections with the ākonga and whānau at Avon, and in the wider community.

Tēnā koutou, I am very proud to have joined the Avon School team for 2025.  I look forward to the important role of preparing these young adults for future learning at high school.

 I have been a Year 7-8 teacher for past 12 years.  I have however taught all year levels in my teaching career.  

I have a passion for teaching mathematics, literacy, sports and science and look forward to my time at Avon.
