Kia ora koutou!
It was so lovely to meet the children today and I’m very excited to share this years’ journey of learning and growth with them. I thought I’d take this chance to share a little bit about myself with you.
My own journey to become a teacher has been a long one. After leaving university I studied Child Psychotherapy and then worked as an early childhood educator for a number of years.
I left teaching to look after my children (Noah, Isobel and Jack) and returned to the workforce as a teacher aide in a special needs unit of an Australian high school.
When we returned to New Zealand, I decided it was time to follow my dream and gained a Graduate Diploma in Teaching. Hamilton East was one of my practicum schools (which is why my pink hair might look familiar). I loved it so much. I was really excited to be offered a teaching position here.
My passions include art and craft (I am an avid sewist and make most of my clothes), I love reading, writing, and being in and around the water. In my spare time, I race dirt karts and collect and fix vintage sewing machines.
Your child’s year in Room 18 is going to be full of fun, lots of learning and exciting adventures.
If at any time you have any questions, problems, or just want to have a chat about what’s going on, please don’t hesitate to contact me,
Ngā mihi nui,
Ange Dent
