Introducing Fiona
Learning Support
Kia ora
I'm Fiona! I've been at Raphael House now for 6 years. I'm a Learning Support Assistant and work mostly in the Lower School, but I like teenagers too!
I grew up in South Africa and the UK. Before settling in New Zealand in 2003, we enjoyed the freedom of travelling around Africa, Europe, North and South America. In a previous life I worked as a veterinary nurse, however, I now get to immerse myself in the amazing creative environment of RH and join the students on their incredible learning journeys. My favourite thing is to share the joy of words and reading with the children.
Outside of school I enjoy family time, movies, sewing and collecting old textiles. I love all things vintage, although I'm definitely not a hoarder!
