Kia Ora, my name is Nicola Edwards. I have been teaching at Castlecliff School for the past 2 years. This year I am lucky enough to be team teaching with Whaea Sarah in the Junior Whanau class. In 2015 I trained in Reading Recovery. I have coached the Castlecliff B Netball team in 2014, the Castlecliff A Netball team in 2015. In 2016 I managed and assisted Jackson (coach) with the U11 Slow pitch Softball team.

Kia ora whānau, my name is Sarah Sharman and I have the pleasure of teaching at Castlecliff School in the amazing Junior Whānau. At the beginning of 2015 I made the move from Wellington to Whanganui and have made the Awa City my home. I have a real passion for te reo Māori and I am furthering my knowledge of my language through Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, here in Whanganui. I also have a passion for yoga. I practice yoga every day and truly believe in the healing power of taking the time to connect our bodies and breath through movement. Ngā mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa.
