Ko Niuean te iwi

Ko Avatelle to hapū

No Ōtautahi ahau

Kei Bryndwr au e noho ana

He kaiako au it e Kahikatea, Te Kura o Papakõhatu

Kia ora whānau

My family comes from a beach side village called Avatelle in Niue Island. I was raised in Christchurch and currently live in Bryndwr. I have two adult daughters. One is a Park Ranger and the other is in her third year studying to be a social worker. I live with my partner Tony who is a plumber and our two granddaughters. Leilani is 14 and attends Villa Maria College. Ivy Rose is 8 and goes to Isleworth School. We have a dog called Jack and a cat called Ziggy. My weekends are spent walking or running and enjoying our beautiful city with my family. Bishopdale is my own childhood primary so I am super excited to be teaching here.
