Kia Ora, Ni Sa Bula Vinaka. My name is Ben Qauqau and I am a third and final year student teacher who will be in Room 10 with Mr Wells for the year. I am looking forward to building great working relationships with my Year 8 class and to improve and work on my professional development as a future teacher. I am 25 years old and I am a keen sportsmen. I play rugby during the winter for Alhambra-Union and keep myself busy with touch rugby and a spot of cricket during the summer. I am really looking forward to the year ahead and immersing myself in the Tahuna culture and community. Nga mihi, Ben.

Kia ora koutou, my name is Anna Miskimmin. I am a third year student at the College of Education. For the last year and a half I have worked as a youth worker in a home looking after teenagers. I've worked as a teacher aide at Kings High School and still assist when required. I enjoy most sports, I participate in football, touch rugby, netball and have recently had a good whack at golf. Subjects that I am particularly confident in are health and technology. I am really looking forward to this opportunity to be a part of this school and its motivated staff. This experience I believe will enable me to grow and consolidate the skills I have been learning over the past 2 years.
