General Information
Talofa lava
My name is Tupu Iese and I have recently moved to Pokeno with my wife, three children and one grandson. I am excited to be starting at Pokeno School in Term 3 after teaching at Papatoetoe West School for 27 years. I love coaching sports and finding ways for children to share and celebrate their culture, language and identity. I look forward to getting to know the staff, children and families of Pokeno School.
