Kahikatea 2
Talofa lava,
My name is Rochelle Faleafaga (Miss Fale) and I am very excited to be a part of the Karearea Whanau this year, teaching Year 6-8 in Kahikatea 2. I have been working at Pokeno school for three years, having taught New Entrant/ Year 1, Year 3, Year 4 and prior to this as an ECE teacher in Pukekohe.
I live in Onewhero on a farm and have five gorgeous children. I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the beach, coaching Netball and Volleyball and road trips.
I am passionate about teaching and creating a classroom environment that is welcoming, vibrant, fun and motivating for our learners to grow and develop in. Developing positive reciprocal relationships with parents and whanau is incredibly important to me, and I look forward to meeting you all throughout the year.
