TEAM

MĀTANGINUI

Mātanginui is our Senior Team (Years 5-6) in Kura Auraki (mainstream) and is housed in Akomanga 1, 2, 3 & 4. Mātanginui is led by Jess Brett.

Mātanginui refers to the many swiftly flowing streams noisily plunging from the peak of Mātanginui to the plains.

Kia ora, I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to be Assistant Principal. I have previously taught in Māharahara and Mātanginui and have done intervention teaching across the school. I am passionate about teaching and learning and believe that every child has their own talents and strengths that are just waiting to be discovered! I love playing sport and you will often see me out in the playground playing games with students (some of you may even play against me at netball). My role is focused around pastoral care, learning and behaviour support - if you have any questions, come and see me!
