Kia ora koutou. In 2025 I am excited to be undertaking a new role at CNS. This year I am working in a release teaching capacity which will involve covering classes across the school. My focus on these days will be teaching the Digital Technology Curriculum. I am really looking forward to working with a range of different students across the school and sharing my passion for ICT through engaging learning opportunities.

When I'm not at school I enjoy getting out for a run or spending time with my family. I am an avid armchair sports-fan and particularly enjoy watching rugby league and basketball. If you are in our kura and also love to chat about sport, then come and see me in the brand new space over in A25.

Kia ora koutou, I have worn many hats over the years. This year I will be teaching students to be engaged, curious math problem solvers two days a week and 2 days I will be in various classrooms sharing my love of maths, sport and art! Outside of school I am a Mum to four children and a Gwanny to two. I spend most of my time driving, cheering and supporting ALL their sports! When I get a break from this I enjoy watching rugby, and cricket, reading a good book, going to the gym and eating yummy food!

Kia Ora! Kō Jono Clement tōku ingoa. I'm really excited to be working at Central Normal School this year! I will be teaching a wide range of learners, three days each week releasing classroom teachers.

Kia Ora! My name is Casey and this year I am working as a release teacher at Central Normal School. Some of you may already know me as I was previously a classroom teacher at CNS in the Wharite team for several years. I am excited about the new relationships I am able to build with students and whanau across the school while working in this role, as well as being able to reconnect and teach my past students, their siblings, and their friends. I have a passion for teaching structured literacy and am also known for doing lots of art projects with the classes I work in.

Kia ora, My name is Kathryn Watson, I am the Sports Coordinator for Central Normal School.

My role at CNS targets outside of school sports which involves planning and organising a wide range of extracurricular sports to deliver to our tamariki, liaising with various code associations and fostering a positive, inclusive environment where all children can engage in safe and fun physical activity.

I believe that by offering the opportunity to explore a variety of sports, it also supports our tamariki to keep fit and active, develop skills and teamwork, build friendships and connections while boosting confidence and resilience.

I often head down to sports games each week to see how everyone is getting on. If you see me, please come and say hello. It is always a pleasure to meet new whānau and have a chat.

I look forward to another awesome year of our tamariki smashing it at sports!!!
