Teena joutou tamariki maa,

Ko Whaea Ruth tooku ingoa. I’m excited to be your teacher this year! Recently, I’ve been working with teachers to help students just like you, and I can’t wait to start working with you all.

Year 8 is a special year. Whether you’ve been here most of your schooling life or are new to the school. I’m here to support you.

I’m committed to helping you learn and grow. I want to know what excites you, what challenges you, and where you need extra support. As we get to know each other, I’ll encourage you to speak up when you’re really engaged and when something isn’t quite clicking. With your hard work, your family’s support, and my guidance, we can make 2025 a year of growth, learning, and new adventures.

Maa taatou e whakatutuki i ngaa mahi nui o te tau e heke mai nei | let’s achieve great things this coming year.
