Kia Ora,

I’m Shea Malloy and I’m so excited to be teaching the littlest Pokeno people in Room 1.

I love teaching five-year-olds as they are so inquisitive and enthusiastic about their world. My aim is to deliver a classroom programme that taps into these fabulous attributes, as we start our school learning journey.

Out of school, I live on the Awhitu Peninsula with five Calf club goats, a brood of pesky chickens, three super nosy cows, two cats and our rambunctious puppy, Dudley. Oh, I nearly forgot – I’m married and have four grown-up boys!

I’m an experienced Junior teacher, having taught New Entrants/Year One and two children for ten years.

I have heard such wonderful things about Pokeno School and I’m looking forward to becoming part of the Pokeno whanau.
