Each issue we'll introduce a couple of our newest kaiārahi. Meet Whaea Hireke!

Ko Ngāti Porou me Ngāti Mutunga ōku iwi. 

Ko Hireke Zygadlo tōku ingoa. 

I am excited to teach at Te Pā and am hoping to utilise my teaching experience from London, Wellington and Christchurch. 

In London, I taught a Yr 2 ESOL class, Wellington a Yr 4-6 collaborative class and have taught bilingual previously in Christchurch. 

I am passionate about art, literacy and science.

 When I’m not teaching, I enjoy painting, baking, surfing and going to the beach with my puppy. It has been a great few weeks and I look forward to getting to know everyone.
