Ko Mikayla Reeve tooku ingoa
I tipu ake au ki Waikaretu.
E noho ana au ki Te Kauwhata.

My name is Mikayla Reeve, and I am excited to be teaching Year 4 tamariki in Room 14 this year. I have recently moved home after spending time teaching in Brisbane. As someone who once attended TKP, returning as a kaiako feels like a full circle moment and I look forward to continuing to strengthen relationships within our haapori. My mission in the classroom is to create a positive environment where aakonga feel supported to be curious, confident, and to grow as learners.

Tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Fiji te whenua tupu
I tupu ake au I Māngere engari ko Te Kauwhata toku ināianei
Ko Ahmed tōku whānau
Ko Shoaib tāku tāne
Ko Amyra rāua ko Kiara āku tamāhine
He kaiako ahau i Te Kura Tuatahi o Te Kauwhata
Ko Mehnaz tōku ingoa
Tēnā tātou katoa

Bula Vinaka!
My name is Mehnaz Ahmed. Originally from the beautiful island of Fiji, and having lived in Auckland for many years, I now feel incredibly grateful to call Te Kauwhata home, where I live with my wonderful husband and our two beautiful daughters.

I am truly looking forward to another year of learning, growth, and connection with my students, their whānau, and our wider school community. It is such a privilege to be part of your child’s learning journey, and I am especially excited to continue leading Room 16 as we take on new challenges, celebrate successes, and create amazing memories together.

Here’s to a positive, productive, and inspiring year ahead!
