Kia ora, my name is Keri. I currently live in Hamilton with my wonderful husband Lewis, our son, Cooper, and our gorgeous dog, Bailey. I've lived in South Africa, New Zealand, Asia, Australia, and Europe, and have recently come back home to New Zealand. I have previously taught in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and worked for an online school for children based in the UAE. I enjoy the outdoors, going camping, scuba diving, reading and travelling.

Hello, I'm Candice Bateup. Originally from Australia, I have been living in New Zealand for around 12 years, and working at Te Kauwhata Primary School for around 10 years. This year I am working in the Learning Support Coordinator role. I am lucky to work with so many of our tamariki and look forward to meeting many more of you in future.

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.
