Māharahara is our Middle Team (Years 3-4) in Kura Auraki (mainstream) and is housed in Akomanga 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18. Māharahara is led by Rachel Mason, who is fondly referred to as ‘Whaea Rachel’ by the children.

Māharahara refers to the many streams that flow down from the Māharahara Peak.

Kia Ora! I’m Rachel Mason and I am lucky enough to be the team leader of Māharahara - our middle school team full of amazing Year 3 and 4 students. This year you will find me in Akomanga 15. I really enjoy getting to know the students in my class, in our team and in our wider kura, along with their whānau, and seeing them thrive in their learning each and every day! In my spare time I enjoy playing netball, heading out along our beautiful river walks with my little Foxy dog Daisy, spending time with family and friends and trying my hand at DIY renovations in my home - if you have any handy hints, feel free to let me know!

Talofa! I’m Galatia Rose and I’m excited to be back teaching full-time in Akomanga 14. I am looking forward to supporting your child through their learning journey this year. The curriculum areas I am passionate about are visual arts, technology and writing. In my spare time I will usually be hanging with my family - my toddler, teen step daughter and partner. I love being outdoors, keeping my indoor plants alive, reading and being creative.

Kia ora koutou,

This year I am thrilled to be returning to the Māharahara team teaching in Akomanga 17. I live locally and am extremely proud to call Manawatū home! My passions centre around my love for sport, particularly rugby league and basketball. If you are in our kura and also love to chat about sport, then come and see me!

My curriculum passions are mathematics, science and ICT. One of my ongoing goals is to provide opportunities for students to shine in different lights. The range of abilities, passions, knowledge and skills that our akonga posses always astounds me. My challenge is to provide the environment and opportunities to enable students to showcase what they can do. I look forward to interacting with as many of you as possible throughout the year.

Kia ora koutou! I am Lesley Blackmore and the teacher in Akomanga 13. A classroom full of vibrant and curious children is a learning place of immense importance. I feel so fortunate to be part of the process where your children's learning and well being is nurtured, enhanced and encouraged, especially so through the medium of learning through play. This type of teaching is so beautifully tailored for the Year 2 and Year 3 age and will be an exciting opportunity for us all to feel valued and honoured.
