End of Week 4
Wow! Time is really flying pass quickly, we are almost halfway through the term. OMG! This term is about connection, friendship and settling into our class routines. Let's work hard and keep our focus and we will reap the benefits. Together we will get there, one step at a time. So blessed to be surrounded by some hilarious, intelligent ,ambitious and thougtful ladies. This is our year Ngā Kōhine Kāhu. 'Tū whitia te hopo' Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Mauri Ora
My
name is Matina Grace (Whaea Matina), and I am in my first year of teaching. I
am humbled to be teaching in Te Whānau Āwhina this year. I am from Ngāpuhi,
Ngati Porou and Aitutaki. I was raised
here in Manurewa, South Auckland, and continue to live and raise my little
whānau here as well. We are proud to
call Manurewa our home. I am teaching in Room 20 which is a Year 6,7 and 8 all
girls class, that currently consists of 25 students. I am excited to be a part of your child’s
learning development this year, and look forward to working collaboratively
together to raise academic achievement for your child.
‘Mā
te iwi e tipu e te tamaiti’ We all work together as an iwi, a village to raise
and nurture the well being of the child.
