Pou awhina" is a Māori term that translates to "support post" or "pillar of support" in English. It refers to someone or something that provides assistance, guidance, or support.
Each class has been assigned their own Pou Awhina to help support each individual class.
In Room 4 Jaxon is our Pou awhina. He supports the classroom by sharpening pencils, taking the recycling out, and delivering the lunch orders. Jaxon takes his role seriously and is always prompt with time management.
I like my role because it makes you feel happy when I am helping other people in other classes.
Dorian is a great help in Room 12, sharpening pencils at the beginning of the week and helping with art projects.
Dorian plays with us on wet days.
Every child deserves a classroom where they feel inspired to explore, create, and grow. With a passion for fostering curiosity, confidence, and a love for learning, I am dedicated to creating an inclusive and engaging environment where all students thrive.
Specialising in student-centered learning, I design lessons that spark curiosity and encourage critical thinking. Whether through hands-on activities, collaborative projects, or creative problem-solving, my goal is to empower students to take ownership of their learning journey.
Recognising that each student is unique, I am committed to meeting individual needs and ensuring that every learner feels valued, supported, and capable of success. By building a classroom culture rooted in respect and encouragement, I strive to help students develop the skills and resilience needed to navigate both academic and real-world challenges.
The ultimate goal is to help students grow into confident, inquisitive, and compassionate individuals who are ready to face the world with curiosity and resilience. This journey of educational growth will continue at Wairakei Primary School, creating a space where every learner can flourish and reach their full potential.
