I am Mrs Devita Sami, formerly from Fiji. I migratred to New Zealand in 2017. This is my sixth year teaching in New Zealand, where I currently teach Year 11 and Year 13 Business Studies and Year 12 Economics. In previous years, I have also taught junior-level Business Studies, Social Studies, and Mathematics, which has strengthened my understanding of curriculum progression and cross-disciplinary skill development. I am committed to maintaining high standards of teaching and learning, ensuring clarity of expectations, and supporting students to achieve their full potential,

Kia ora whānau,

I am Mrs Arora ( Minky Arora) - Commerce Teacher

I began my teaching career in 2012 in India and moved to New Zealand in 2015. I joined Papakura High School in Term 2 of 2025, and feel proud to be part of this wonderful school community.

As a Commerce teacher, I am passionate about helping students see how their learning connects to the real world. I enjoy creating an inclusive and supportive classroom environment where my ākonga and I grow and learn together each day.

I truly love what I do and aim to make learning fun, relevant, and meaningful for all students.

I am a proud South Auckland boy, born and raised in Manurewa. I have been teaching for nine years and have a background in youth work and sports coaching. I am a father of four and enjoy keeping active through sports, cycling, and running.

I’m a huge hip-hop fan and enjoy debating 'GOATs' with fellow hip-hop heads. I also love to travel around Aotearoa and overseas, experiencing different cultures and environments.

Currently, I teach Level 2 and Level 3 Business Studies (including the Young Enterprise Scheme), the Run Club elective, and the Swim Safety project. I am also an Otuuwairoa Kaiārahi. In the past, I have also taught Legal Studies, Junior Literacy, and Junior Commerce.
