A little about me and my time at Papatoetoe Intermediate School:
I am into my 21st year of education, having taught at different schools across Auckland in that time.  I enjoy working with Intermediate aged students and supporting them to reach their potential.  I have been teaching at Papatoetoe Intermediate since 2018, starting as a classroom teacher and then holding various leadership roles and responsibilities.  It continues to be a dynamic and exciting school and community to work in and I love that everyday brings new opportunities and experiences, the vibrant students, the amazing staff and the energetic community come together to make Papatoetoe Intermediate a fantastic place to be!

My vision and hopes for our school/my class:
My focus is to provide and range of opportunities for all our akonga to explore their potential so that they can discover who they are and find their place in the world.

A bit more about me:
I am married and my wife and I have 2 daughters, currently in Year 10 and Year 12.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  My personal interests include playing and watching sport, especially cricket, sailing and motorsport.  I am the President of the Auckland Primary School Rugby Union and enjoy volunteering my time in this area.  I also enjoy DIY utilising my carpentry apprenticeship skills from 20+ years ago!
