Class Overview
-
Wai Marino & Wai Mᾱrie
All students in Te Puāwai are encouraged to reach their full potential, implementing our MANA values, and having high expectations with learning and behaviour.
Our learning is centred around Speaking, Reading, Writing and Maths in English and Māori. ICT is a part of daily learning. All Kaiako will ensure that we have a productive relationship with your child, you, the whānau, iwi and wider communities. These are vital foundations for effective teaching, learning and support for our students

Kia ora,
My name is Letitia Steele. 2019 was the first year back in the classroom full time. The previous two years I have taught Reading Recovery and covered Deputy Principal release. Both my husbands’ family and my family have a long history with the school and I have enjoyed returning to where my education began.
I have two daughters at Castlecliff School and they are absolutely loving it. My husband and my three young children live around the corner and love the fact we have such an amazing community minded school just down the road.
I love sport and physical education, so this is how I spend my time given half the chance. I feel privileged to be working alongside our tamariki and watching them blossom. -

Kia Ora
2020 is my first year working at Castlecliff School and I am privileged to work in Wai Mārie with year 3 and 4 tamariki. My vision for Wai Mārie is to provide opportunities for all ākonga to be actively engaged in their learning, to take risks, and to grow their resilience. In our class we are working towards becoming self managing learners, and setting high expectations for ourselves and our learning. The school values provide a supportive environment for “giving things a go” and taking ourselves outside our comfort zone. Learning alongside my students makes every day a unique experience.
