Teacher - Room 27
Timote Naulivou
Kia ora Room 27 Students and Parents/Caregivers
Welcome to Room 27 and Team Mahi Tahi! I am super excited to meet you all and begin our journey as a class.
I am Matua Timote Naulivou, but I am called Matua Mote in the classroom. An interesting fact about me is that I was a student at Berkley a long time ago. I am of Tongan and Pākehā descent. My wife Shanice and I are massive fans of board games; so much so that our board game cupboard is overflowing!
In education, I am really passionate about our holistic growth and learning. This year at Berkley is packed with a variety of learning experiences that will help us grow our heads, our hands and our hearts. In Term 1 we haveCamp Ngatuhoa, giving us awesome out-of-class learning opportunities. As we enter the year with the "taking up the challenge" mentality, we will get many opportunities to experience new things and grow.
As a class, we are a team. So you can expect to be shown support and care, as you also show support and care to your classmates.
Looking forward to getting to know you all,
Matua Mote
