I am Ragini, I work as the new Sports Coordinator at Raphael House. I have been a parent at the school since 2019.

My role involves the administration of sporting competitions and events for Raphael House students.

I work most of the day on Monday and Friday and afternoons the rest of the week.

When I am not at school, I work as a fitness trainer and hold casual group fitness classes as well as one-on-one training sessions.

Living a natural healthy life, fitness, gardening, cooking, reading books, hosting parties, meeting new people as well as travelling are my interests.

Kia ora koutou, ko Sarah toku ingoa. I have been teaching Upper School Handwork for 15 years,apart from last year when I had a year off.

Prior to teaching I owned a clothing design company which was set up whilst living in Philadelphia USA, but once my daughter started school at Te Ra on the Kapiti Coast the Waldorf education became a drive and passion for a new career in teaching. 

I only work 3 days a week this year and the other days continue with my private tuition of students. 

When not teaching I am usually sewing, weaving, pattern making, gardening, house renovating or helping my daughter with competing on her horses.

 I also have a strong love for walking our amazing Great Walks in New Zealand!
