It takes a village to raise a child, and support staff are one of the many valuable “pieces” of our education system “jigsaw” that make children feel safe in their environment and help them reach their highest potential.

From Ross our caretaker, who takes pride in having our grounds and buildings looking so good, Annette and Michelle in the office, making sure that our days run smoothly, to Diane our librarian, who keeps our amazing library as one of our students' favourite places within the school - all help to make East Taieri such a great school to belong to. Members of our Teacher Assistant Team who support teachers and learners within the classroom are invaluable. Special thanks go to Perry Spicer who has been working in the Junior Team while Kate has been overseas.
