Kia Ora Tatou
Ko Pirongia te maunga
Ko Waikato te awa
No Kirikiriroa ahau
Ko Swart tōku Whanau
Ko Niki tōku ingoa

Hello, my name is Niki. I emigrated from South Africa to Whakatane,New Zealand in 1996 with my husband and our two, very young children. My husband and I both taught there before embarking on an international schools career, teaching in The Philippines, China, Switzerland, and Angola. We returned home to Hamilton, and are enjoying our time with a family of teachers - our son, daughter, and son-in-law all teach. I'm loving my time at Te Kauwhata, and look forward to meeting you, both professionally and socially.I am in Room 10 from Monday to Thursday.
