Ruma 7 Kaiako/Assistant Principal

Ko Jacinta tōku ingoa.
I show true loyalty to this beautiful Tītahi Bay Community. This is where I spent my youth, rummaging around the rocks, surfing the waves and competing for pretty much every club in Tītahi Bay. I attended Tītahi Bay Kindy followed by Tītahi Bay School where I have the fondest memories. I haven’t ventured very far however I did spend 10 years travelling overseas, just to find myself back in this little slice of paradise. I have 3 children, 15 year old twins and a 13 year old, they are all sporty and active in our community. I am known around our Kura as the ‘sporty’ teacher, if there’s a sports job done then 9 times out of 10 it’s me behind the scenes. I would describe myself as a firm but fun teacher, always up for a good laugh with the kids when it’s appropriate. I absolutely LOVE my job and feel extremely lucky to be in such a supportive, encouraging environment, having lots of fun along the way. In my spare time you’ll spot me at the beach or driving my kids around to a million different sporting locations, yip call me taxi driver :).

Ruma 8 Kaiako

Ki ora, ko Ang Strand tōku ingoa. I have been at our beautiful kura for the past 14 years. I love Tītahi Bay, and the sense of community with all the kids, whānau, and everyone involved. I’ve enjoyed teaching across the junior, middle, and now the senior school. Our KURA values shine through in everything we do, and the staff I work with are amazing.
With my love for the environment, I enjoy working alongside our Enviro Leaders and other tamariki in the garden, and I’m also involved in running our Garden to Table program with the tamariki.
In my own time, I love spending time outdoors with my husband and two boys, Jake and Liam. We enjoy being active, kicking a ball around, and exploring Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington).

Āio ki te rangi, āio ki te whenua, āio ki ngā mea katoa. Tīhei mauri ora!
Tēnā koutou e te whānau, Nō Wales, Scotland me Poland ahau. I tipu ake au ki Aotearoa, kei Titahi Bay e noho ana. Ko Michaela Evans tōku ingoa.
What a privilege it is to live and work in Tītahi Bay. I was brought up all over Te Ika-ā-māui, including Taitoko, Whanganui and Kirikiriroa. However, I have been based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara for over 10 years now. When not at mahi I will be out in nature with my whānau, including our new pēpi! You might spot me surfing in the bay or walking around our local maunga.

Kia ora koutou. Ko Beth tōku ingoa.
I’m excited to be joining the awesome Kura Street crew this year.
I moved out to Tītahi bay six years ago with my whānau and we are as obsessed with the beautiful landscape and the community as the day we arrived! It is the best place to raise our two energetic tamariki.

After living and working overseas I became a teacher over 10 years ago, and have taught mainly in the Wellington region, with a couple of years in China too. I’m grateful to have a career that I love and the current flexibility to work part time while my kids are young.

When I’m not at work you’ll almost always find me outdoors, hanging at the beach and parks with whānau, spending time with friends, or heading out for a run around Whitireia.
