What people say

Whakawhanaungatanga
As teachers we sometimes develop an inbuilt defense mechanism as everyone wants to have a go at us, but I felt that you created a safe enough environment which allows those defensive reactions to be put aside, and an acceptance to occur.
And finally, I did not look at the
bloody clock once!!

Thank you for all the support and input you have had, and with providing us with the tools, skills and confidence to do this. Laurayne, it was almost like you were there with me today. Your mentoring, coaching and wisdom has been invaluable.

Building on our journey with you again. You re-energise us and keep us going on the right track…now that we are clearly established in our journey it is becoming more of a way of being as opposed to an initiative… and we are owning it all!
Thank you for your wise counsel, your inspiration and belief in us.

Kahui Ako Principal

“We have never searched for silver bullets in the form of the latest professional development offering, rather we have always leaned into that which we know constitutes excellent teaching and learning practice. The results of this practice have been evident in the rich achievement of our students.
