Greetings, I am Robert and I have joined the teaching team at Papatoetoe Intermediate
School this term as a general classroom teacher. In school the pupils call me Mr. Hooker.
In 2008 I graduated from Auckland University with a Bachelor of Education as I changed
careers. I have been teaching in Auckland and overseas since graduating.
A little about me
I grew up in Glen Innes, Auckland and I still live quite close to the house I grew up in with my
wife. My parents came to New Zealand from the UK in the 1950s and settled in Glen Innes .
I have a brother who lives in Australia. I love nature and enjoy going for walks and travelling
and enjoying the natural beauty of the world. Looking back in time I travelled to South East
Africa in 1981 to experience many of the things I saw on TV as a kid and more recently I
learnt how to scuba dive . Such an awesome thing to do.Hopes and ambition for the learners.
As a teacher I aim to give the learners the skills they need to be a success in their lives.
