Ko au te Tumuaki o te kura tuatahi o Te Kauwhata/Ta Kauwhata

Kia ora everyone, my name is Brian and I have been in education since 2001. I am originally from Northern Ireland and my family moved to NZ in 1988. As a family, we settled in South Auckland and I lived there for many years before moving to Pukekohe in 2013. My wife Pippa and I have two daughters Kyla and Ava. In 2014 I was employed as a Deputy Principal at TKP and I became the tumuaki in 2018!

I love working in this community as it is so diverse! Teaching is a fantastic vocation as every child is different and not one day is the same as the next.
I look forward to meeting you and your children!!
