Hello, my name is Anne and I am originally from Pukekohe. My family moved to Te Kauwhata several years ago. I really enjoy gardening, spending time with my family and travelling. 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.

Kia ora whānau,

My name is Harjeet, and I am proud to be part of the Te Kauwhata Primary School community. Originally from Northern India, I have called New Zealand home since 2012. My teaching journey began in 2021 in Room 6 here at TKP, and this year, I have the pleasure of teaching Year 1 and 2 students in room 4.

I am passionate about education and love creating a positive and engaging learning environment for our tamariki. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my whānau. I look forward to a fantastic year of learning, growth, and connection with you and your children.

Kia Ora Tātou!

Kia Ora! My name is Danielle van Zyl, and I am thrilled to be the Team Leader of our Year 2-3 Junior School. This is my sixth year teaching in our amazing kura, where we are all about supporting our tamariki (children) and kaiako (teachers).

I am looking forward to 2024, as I learn alongside my tamariki as we embark on our school journey together.
