Ko Candice toku ingoa.

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 job sharing with Mrs Moore in Room 1 as well as working with Mrs Kittsen 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.

Ko Anne toku ingoa

Hello, my name is Anne and I am from Pukekohe. My husband and our two sons Xavier and Leo are looking forward to building our home here in Te Kauwhata. I really enjoy gardening and having little adventures with my boys. Professionally I have added to my teaching repertoire being involved in the ALL Programme (Accelerating Learning in Literacy). This taught me that students can achieve more when they are taught explicitly over several parts of the day and have targets to reach. I am excited to apply my new knowledge to the students in Room 2.

My name is Alice Kapoor and I grew up and live in Hamilton.
I am delighted to continue my teacher journey this year at Te Kauwhata Primary with the amazing tamariki in Room 3.
In my spare time, I love playing hockey and ultimate frisbee, going for bush walks with my family and friends, or reading a good book.

My name is Harjeet. I am from North India and emigrated to Aotearoa in 2012. Now, I live in Te Kauwhata with my husband and son. I have worked as a day to day relief teacher. I am extremely excited to start my new journey at TKP and wonder where this will lead me. I look forward to meeting you all.

Kia Ora my name is Jessica Howes and this is my third year teaching at Te Kauwhata Primary School. It is a pleasure to be a part of such a lovely kura with other kiako who are both extremely supportive and passionate about teaching. My family emigrated to New Zealand when I was ten years old and I have always resided in the Waikato region since. This year I have moved to the Te Kauwhata lakeside with my dog Lexi, who is a Border-collie cross Huntaway. When I am not at school, I am enjoying the outdoors, kayaking, fishing and hiking. I look forward to meeting you all and your tamariki!
