Kea Team

Welcome to the Kea team for 2020.  In our team we have 4 classes.

In Room 15 we have Mrs Leanne Barakat who is excited to begin her second year at Pukete School with her class of Year 2 and 3's. She enjoys sport and will continue organising Touch teams and the Junior school sport events throughout the year. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her husband and 3 children finding new adventures to do together.

In Room 16 we have Ms Kimberley Tahere teaching year 3’s. She loves travelling and spends most of her travels in the United States.  She enjoys learning about other cultures and believes in nurturing a culturally diverse classroom. She is a huge fan of children’s literature and encourages the children to bring and share their books as part of their learning journey. Ms Tahere is the Kea team’s Team Leader.

In Room 17 we welcome Mrs Rachel Brady who is very excited to be at Pukete School with her class of Year 3's. Rachel enjoys travelling, reading and fitness, which are passions she tries to incorporate into the classroom. She believes in creating a positive classroom atmosphere by encouraging everyone to do their best and support others. 

In Room 2 is Miss Sally Garrick and her class of Year 2 and 3's. She enjoys reading, music and keeping fit. She loves to incorporate these interests into her classroom whenever possible.

Kea team is a tight knit team who like to collaborate closely and share our areas of interest and expertise. As a team we strive to promote a positive growth mindset as we encourage our students to be lifelong learners. Our challenge this year will be to have stronger Te Reo Maori integration within our core learning areas.
