Kia hiwa raa

Kia hiwa raa

Ko Puutauaki te maunga

Ko Rangitaiki te awa

Ko Mataatua te waka

Ko Ngati Awa, Ngati Niue, 

Ngati Haamoa ngaa iwi

Ko Te Pahipoto te hapuu

Ko Kokohinau te marae

Ko O Ruataupare te wharenui

Ko Isaako Hunia tooku ingoa

Noo reira, teenaa koutou, 

teenaa koutou, teenaa raa 

taatou katoa.

Fakaalofa lahi atu kia mutolu oti, and Happy New Year!  

Ko Isacc Hunia tooku ingoa. I have the privilege of teaching all who call Room 20 home for 2024! I am of Tagata Niue and Samoan descent, but have been fortunate to be a whaangai into a Maaori whaanau. 

I completed my Bachelors of Education at the University of Auckland in 2011, making this my 14th year in what I believe to be the most rewarding profession ever! I have a firm but fair approach to teaching - will challenge your child to step out of their comfort zones, and foster an ‘I CAN’ mindset. 

I love to have a laugh, endeavour to get to know and make time for my students’, incorporate music as well as culture into our learning space and look forward to what 2024 has in store.
