Teacher

Hi, my name is Stephen Caldwell one of a rare breed of teachers called MALE teachers. Hopefully more are on the way. I have special interests in IT, art and sport as well as making learning relevant and engaging for all students. I am married with three children, Josiah, Shama and Moses. My wife’s name is Sharron. We are both keen outdoor type people and are involved in helping a school and orphanage in Uganda. We believe that life is not about ourselves but about extending what we have to help others

Teacher

I teach a year 3 class of eager learning children. I have a passion for integrating Music and The Arts into my classroom teaching along with ICT and thinking skills. The children in Room 12 love doing jump jam, maths, reading and inquiry studies too.

Teacher

I am an author having had six books published. These are sold in NZ, Aust, Uk, USA and Canada.I have also had over 30 journal stories published and many of these have been translated into Maori. My work is used in the ministry and in some universities both here and overseas. I really enjoy teaching and try to create a family atmosphere in the class which is ‘busy’ and full of fun. My interests are language, Science, Music and Mathematics. I have taught all age levels from Year 1 to Year 8.

I teach a class of Year 3 students. The children in Room 14 love books and enjoy a challenge. I enjoy music and seeing children get the satisfaction of achieving something they didn't think they could do.
