WELCOME TO ROOM KERERŪ

Tena Koe,
I am the Deputy Principal and Team Leader of Te Pihinga and Te Mahuri at Turaki Primary School.  

2025 is an exciting time in our teams as our students and teachers continue on our Structured Literacy and Science of Learning Journey. 
In Kereru class, Mrs Kereopa, Whaea Hutia and I look forward to supporting our learners to reach their potential and have fun doing it!

Whaea Hutia is our class based Learning Assistant, who is also currently studying to be a teacher.
Myself and my team are committed to all our learners being successful and capable during their time at Turaki and beyond. 

Miss Turner

 

 

Kia ora whanau,
Ko Samantha Kereopa toku ingoa.

I have been teaching at Turaki for 4 years now and am also a past student of our kura. I was born and raised in Taumarunui and can think of no place better to work and live. I have two young sons who love hunting, fishing and being outdoors and I endeavour to reflect my teaching practice using the environment and learning through nature and outside experiences. 

I work hard to build positive relationships with both students and whanau and  to create a safe and caring learning environment in Te Mahuri. I help run the whanau house leaders and provide opportunities for our senior students to learn and build on their leadership skills. 

As a team we are building the foundation for our senior students to prepare them for secondary school and ensure they have a good balance of fun and structure in their final years at Primary School.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries or just want a catch up in regards to your child and their learning. 

 

Nga mihi - Mrs Kereopa
