Kia ora Koutou

Welcome to last week of term 4, 2021.

It is with mixed emotions that I write my weekly post for the last time. As I reflect on the past 25 years, there are many fond memories... I would like to acknowledge the support of my colleagues, the Board of Trustees and families, past and present. Thank you. It has been real privilege to have taught at this amazing school nestled at the foothills of our maunga, Pirongia. Te Pahu will always have a special place in my heart. Te Pahu School and its community really are the BEST!

As you connect with family and friends these holidays, I hope you are able to rest, relax and recharge after what has been a challenging year.

Wishing you all a happy and safe festive season.
