My family and I moved to Kaikōura in 2014 from Alexandra and we are loving Kaikōura and its community (the scenery is pretty stunning too)!  Having had a busy career in tourism marketing, its a special privilege to work in such a vibrant, friendly and caring school where you know the names of each child.  When I’m not at work, you can find me teaching classes at the local gym or spending time with my family exploring our lovely Kaikōura backyard.

Deputy Principal & Toroa Teacher 5/6

Tena koutou, I started teaching at Suburban in 2011. I am passionate about teaching and especially the Fyffe FORCE ways of Kaikōura Suburban. My aim as a teacher is to foster and instil a love of learning in every child. I am lucky to work in such an amazing collaborative school who aims to set the tamariki up to become adaptive 21st century learners.

Teacher Aide

I am lucky enough to have worked at this amazing, friendly wee school for the past two years.  I thoroughly enjoy working with the awesome children and knowing them all on a first name basis.  I love the flexibility that the L4L inquiry learning brings, and being able to help support them as they direct their own learning in a way that is interesting and fun, to them.  My Husband Russ and I have two children Annalise and Jacob a friendly dog called Lily and Poppy the cat.  I enjoy the outdoors, family cricket matches, being creative, Russ’ homemade pizzas and spending time with the kids who are growing up fast.
