Bula Vinaka! My name is Mehnaz Ahmed, and I am incredibly excited to be joining TKP. I have previously taught Year 7 and 8 in Māngere, Auckland for 7 years.

Now, I’m proud to call Te Kauwhata home, where I live with my wonderful husband and our two beautiful daughters.

I am really looking forward to getting to know my students, their whānau, and the wider school community. It’s going to be a fantastic year, and I’m especially excited to be leading Room 16 on this learning journey!

Kia ora koutou.

Kia ora, my name is Lilli and I am starting my fourth year of teaching at Te Kauwhata Primary School. I am working with Year 3’s in Room 13 A. I am passionate about learning alongside my tamariki as well as ensuring that they have a safe learning environment to extend their learning.

Outside of school I enjoy sports and playing the ukulele, and spending time with whānau and friends.
