WELCOME TO TAVAKE CLASS 2026!
Ko Liz Cribb toku ingoa.
I am the Year 9 Homeroom Teacher for 2026. I also teach Year 9 English and Year 7-8 Visual Art. When I am not teaching in the Junior College, I am leading the Junior College Team, organising Sports as the school Sports Co-Ordinator and I am also the Deputy Principal at Apii Te Uki Ou.
It is such a pleasure to teach Tavake as it is a small class with an amazing bunch of students that are full of enthusiasm for school. We have so many exciting learning opportunities lined up for this year both inside and outside the classroom.
I look forward to meeting any new students that decide Year 9 at Apii Te Uki Ou is for them.
