INTRODUCING - DEPUTY PRINCIPAL - JONO TAURA

Elaine Curtis —

Kia ora koutou,

In my role, I work closely with the Deans of School, Kaiawhina Attendance Officer and Student Support Services to help ensure that the Culture and Relationships at Massey High School are positive, inclusive and reinforce the school values of Whanaungatanga, Manaakitanga and Rangatiratanga.

As a former student of Massey High School, I benefited from the outstanding educational, sporting, pastoral, cultural and life experiences that the school offers and I am now in the fortunate position of being able to help continue this while looking for ways to constantly improve outcomes for students.

After leaving high school I studied commerce at the University of Auckland and completed my teacher training through AUT.

I have been a teacher at Massey for 12 years in both the Physical Education and Commerce departments. I have also taught overseas for a year which was a very rewarding experience.

My interests include sports, predominately rugby and tag, and spending time with family and friends.
