Welcome back Whaea Marina

Today we were so excited to welcome Whaea Marina back to Puketapu School after some time away on medical leave.

It was wonderful to see her smiling face walk through our doors again!

Whaea Marina has been part of the Puketapu whānau for 9 years and is one of our amazing release teachers, supporting learning right across the kura.

She is always willing to lend a hand wherever she’s needed and does so with kindness, positivity, and a smile.

We’ve certainly missed having you around, Whaea Marina, and we’re so happy to have you back, healthy and doing what you do best.

Nau mai hoki mai, Whaea Marina!
