Welcome to our New Teachers

Kia Orana and Welcome to the Family Sophie Malone (Year 3/4 Teacher) - Please see a short bio below:

Kia Orana, I am Sophie Malone, from the small town of Waipu in Northland, New Zealand. I am the second youngest of five children, and value and love my family and community from home. 

I have been teaching in NZ for six years and I am grateful to be teacher, as I am passionate about education. I am interested in learning about culture through experiences, so I am very excited to have the opportunity to teach and learn at Te Uki Ou.

I believe in creating an engaging, creative and challenging learning environment for all children and I work hard to facilitate and support each individual on their learning journey. 

I look forward to getting to know everyone. Please feel free to pop into the classroom at any time.
