Tena koutou katoa
Ko Hikorangi te maunga
Ko Horouta te waka
Ko Waiapu te awa
Ko Ngati Porou te iwi

My name is Toni Germon and I am very excited about joining the Merrin teaching team this year. I am looking forward to getting to know all the Year 3 students and working with them and as they continue on in their learning journey. I am an experienced teacher who has taught most year levels in a variety of educational settings. My most recent teaching position has been at Our Lady of Fatima School in Mairehau.

I am married to Lee and together we have four children, Luke 17, Sophie 15, Aimee 14 and Shannon 12. So, like many of you, life is very busy juggling family and work commitments. I love spending time with my family, cooking and learning new things.

I am passionate about teaching and learning and in helping students become the best learners they can be and I’m looking forward to a fun and adventurous year!
