Kia Ora Tatou
Ko Taupiri te maunga
Ko Waikato te awa
No Te Kauwhata ahau
Ko Casey toku Whanau
Ko Amber toko ingoa

Greetings all
My name is Amber
Taupiri is the Mountain
Waikato is the River
I am from Te Kauwhata
Casey is my Family

Te Kauwhata is my home town, with my family having lived here since I was only a year old. I loved growing up in this friendly community, spending my own primary school years as a student at TKP, way back in the 80s. In 2013 I moved back home to TK with my husband and our four children, and in 2018 I returned to the kura as a member of staff.

I am honoured to be one of the Learning Assistants here at TKP, supporting our tamariki to reach their individual learning goals. 7 years after starting in this role, I still wake up every morning excited about heading to work and spending my days surrounded by all of the inspirational students who attend our school.
