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!
