He uri ahau nō Ingarangi

He uri ahau nō Tonga

Ahakoa he uri ahau nō Ingarangi me Tonga, ī whanau mai ahau ki Aotearoa

Kei Manurewa tōku kainga

Ko wai au? 

He tamahine ahau

He tuahine ahau

He māmā ahau

He kaiako ahau

Ko Whaea Caroline tōku ingoa

About me:

I am a recent graduate of Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, having received my Bachelor of Education degree in 2022. I began my teaching journey in 2016 as a teacher aide and this year, I put on thick socks to fill bigger shoes in my new role as a kaiako. 

I started working at Manurewa South School in 2018 as a teacher aide and made it a goal to start my teaching career at MSS because I have built professional and familial relationships within the staff and school community.  I feel extremely lucky that, as a first year teacher, I have had an amazing year and I know I could not have this feeling without the support of my friends and staff at MSS.

I enjoy teaching in the junior school because I am a bubbly and happy person with tons of positive energy.  These traits are important to have as a kaiako because sometimes some children need a little bit of a happy boost to help them start their day.  I am also happy to be a junior teacher because we get to watch and be proud of our students as they grow within the school.
