• Demonstrated respect, friendliness and willingness to help wherever needed.
• Taking a step out of my comfort zone I decided to take a break and visit other schools along the coast and what better way to do that was become a Kairiwhi (reliever).
• Throught relieving I met with Teachers along the East Coast and built friendship along the way.
• Sharing knowledge and experiences with other teachers.
• Working collaboratively with senior staff and junior staff and sharing strengths in our Learning areas, Te Reo Maori, Maths, Sports etc ...
• Building trust and great relationship with tamariki from each of the relieving schools.
• Always giving 100% in every day of teaching the tamariki.

Tolaga Bay Area School was a school that taught me many skills that were not seen in a South Auckland school that I had come from.

Farming, Fishing, Sustainability of the rivers, Plants, Trees and many to the list.

What I had to offer to the school and tamariki was I had great classroom management and having understanding of each tamaiti individually.

Parents were happy with the many of their sons and the interacting in lessons held in and out of class, much learning was done with kinesthetic learning and computer programming lessons.

Tolaga Bay was a great experience in my teaching and learning to be more community-involved in and out of school. Participation in the community played a big part in the tamariki trusting in the new Kaiako at kura and in the community. Having my skills and stories of the city life intrigued the tamariki and this was my way of gaining the interest of the tamariki. Letting them know the riches they had in their community, rivers, beaches, SLS programs, horse riding, clearing shearing sheds as fundraisers. Many of lifeskill learning at their front door. Great atmosphere with supportive Kaiako in the kura and many PLD opportunities throughout each year. Reading Recovery, Writing programs, Math programms, Planning and Designing for ICT an endless list of upskilling provided throughout my 6 years teaching at Tolaga Bay Area School. Nga mihi.

Hei Ngutukura o te kura, he mangai, he tautoko, he kairiwhi mo te kura.

I am a dedicated supporter to the Kura and the mokopuna of this kura. I stood in the position to support Kaiako, Whanau, and Tamariki in school and out of school.

Te Reo Maori is the only language spoken and taught in the kura. All the Kaiako are very hard working and passionate about their mahi within the kura. I am proud to be part of the kura and the learning that is delivered in the kura to the tamariki.

The kura works strongly on a Tuakana Teina under the principles of Te Aho Matua. The Kura has been opened for 5 years and is a Teina kura to Te Kura Kauapapa Maori o Kawakawa mai Tawhiti.

I was employed as a Kaiako for Te Reo Maori in a new entrants classroom the numbers being 16 year 0 - 2. A year was spent teaching the tamariki and the parents Te Reo Maori. My classroom became an open learning environment so the parents could learn with the tamariki.

A year spent shaping the Unit with numbers growing and making relationships with Kohanga Reo in the area.

The following year I moved to the middle wahanga of the Maori Unit to help strengthen the reo and develop appropriate assessments for the tamariki and for data at the end of year reports.

My final year saw me take the Leadership in the Maori Unit to strengthen the whole diversity within the Maori Unit involving parents and creating more Out of Classroom experiences for the tamariki. Visiting Kohanga Reo becoming Tuakana to Teina, Shopping and using social skills to pakeke (elders). Sharing their learning with the public with waiata in the parks. Many Out of class experiences.

End of 2018 leaving the Kura to seek other challenges with my knowledge.

• Demonstrated respect, friendliness and willingness to help wherever needed.
• Resolved conflicts that arose between Kaiako, Parent, and tamariki in the Unit by listening to complaints and finding appropriate solutions..
