Suburban School Staff
Annie
Office Manager – Email Office
Kia Ora, I came to Kaikōura after the Christchurch earthquakes, but only started working at Suburban School in September 2019. I am so delighted to work in a caring, kind and supportive environment. Everyday is different, I especially enjoy interacting with the children and staff and their commitment to making Suburban a great place to work.

Kia ora, I am the Piwakawaka teacher and have the fantastic new entrants and year 1 students in my class. We use the FORCE values to make the most out of each day in a caring and supportive environment. I enjoy coming to school and seeing happy faces on excited Fyffe FORCE learners.

Toroa Kaiako/Teacher Years 5-6
Kia Ora! I started teaching at Kaikōura Suburban at the start of 2021, as a beginning teacher. I am now a third-year-kaiako who is passionate about working with children to create connected, life long learners and I aspire to make school enjoyable for all my tamariki. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my partner, pets, family and friends, being active outdoors. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful staff and community around me, as I guide my Fyffe FORCE learners to success.
Lloyd
Caretaker
Lloyd is our fantastic caretaker who does whatever it takes to keep our school grounds tidy, safe and healthy places to play and learn. He enjoys spending time with the tamariki also, by helping them with woodwork and other projects, maintaining their bikes, or by them helping him out in the playground by collecting litter or doing the recycling. We all think we are super lucky to have Lloyd keeping an eye on our school environment for us.
Helen
Cleaner
Helen is our amazing cleaner who works very hard, with the help of her two boys, James and Hamish, to keep our learning spaces, toilets, and administration areas clean and tidy. Our cleaning team have been extra careful to keep our high touch surfaces clean and sanitised since COVID began, and they go the extra mile to make sure our classrooms are spick and span! We really appreciate their efforts in keeping us healthy and safe.
