We have a few more new faces in our Kura this term.

We would like to WELCOME three new staff to our school whanau.

Mrs Nicola Sorenson

Hi, I am Nicola Sorenson I have replaced Amanda in the school office. I was a student here at the school back in the 80’s, my husband is a plumber with Foley’s, my daughter Kate is here in Year 12 and Marcus is at TBHS in Year 11.

I have been a Travel Agent for the past 30 years. For the past 10 years as a home based Travel Broker. I have been really fortunate to have travelled extensively over the years.

I still have my office ticking along processing refunds and credits due to Covid-19, more work than booking a holiday! I am looking forward to this role and also becoming part of the TGHS community.  

Miss Michelle Mitchell

Hi, I’m Michelle and I am covering Mrs King’s Guidance Counselling role while she is on maternity leave. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling. My working background has been four years in Whanganui as a Youth Justice Social Worker and three years with the SCDHB as a social worker and Primary Mental Health Clinician.

I am looking forward to this role and becoming part of the TGHS community.

Miss Tracy Keeton

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology which I completed in the USA. I have traveled around the world working in different schools where I had the opportunity to teach, coach, and support a diverse range of students with special needs. 

I am excited to join this amazing team at TGHS.
