General Information
Kia ora,
I have the privilege of teaching one of our Year 5 and 6 classes here at Kōrakonui School. I’m passionate about science and the 'Garden to Table' program, and I love bringing hands-on, real-world learning into our classroom.
For me, teaching is all about building strong relationships and creating a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels valued and inspired to learn. I’m excited to spark curiosity, nurture a love for learning, and support each student to grow and thrive.
