Introducing the Diversity Services Team at Te Puna Wai o Waipapa - Hagley College.

This exceptional group of individuals works hard to assist our former refugee and migrant students in their studies at our kura. They bring a wealth of knowledge, lived-experience, and often the ability to speak multiple languages, which is incredibly helpful when our ākonga are learning the complexities of the English language. Meet the team:

Kia ora. My name is Anne Galloway and I am the Diversity Services Manager at Te Puna Wai o Waipapa - Hagley College.

My role covers 3 main areas:

• Interpreter - being able to speak a few languages other than English has been very helpful in making a close connection with our students of diverse nationalities.
• Pastoral care of our refugee and migrant students within the classroom and outside.
