Kia Ora, Ko Amanda Green taku ingoa.
I live in Greenhithe and I have two primary school aged children. I am excited about entering teaching after experiencing Playcentre with my children and being inspired by the tamariki. I have learnt a lot from being at Playcentre, especially about creating an environment that promotes belonging, wellbeing, exploration, communication and contribution for everyone. I see children as natural learners, and I look forward to supporting children as life -long learners, being resilient and courageous with perseverance and confidence.
In my work before having children I worked in training roles and I have been working for Playcentre since my children started school, supporting other parents in their journeys as Kaiako. I look forward to bringing my relationship building abilities to teaching so the tamariki step up to the challenge of learning and be their best for the year that they will be in my classroom.
