Tena taatou,

As you may have read I am a local girl currently residing on the Pa Side. Although I did not attend Ngaruawahia Primary School, I spent a good amount of time here growing up. Now it is time that I give back to our Community.  2022 will be my first year teaching at Ngaruawahia Primary School. 

I enjoy the whakawhanaungatanga that Teaching allows us to create, as well as being able to contribute a small part of life to our future generation.

Nga manaakitanga,

Ruki
