Kia Ora and Kia Orana. Ko Whaea Moana taku ingoa. I am the new junior bilingual kaiako.. Previously I was a teaching at Farm Cove Intermediate before joinging the Te Papapa whanau. I enjoy kapahaka, baking, music, maths and learning different languages. I am of Maori, Cook Island and Scottish decent and I have 4 children (2 boys and 2 girls). I also have a tiny wee dog (Bichon Shitzu) named Cocoa. I like rugby; playing the guitar, ukulele and keyboard; and I also like working with digital technology. My favourite movie is Moana! Before deciding to become a teacher I worked at TV3 in the website department. Outside of school my husband and I pastor a church in Mangere.
