I have been part of the Pokeno School community since the beginning of Term 3, 2019. Over my time here, I have seen a number of changes and exciting growth within the school.

I thoroughly enjoy working with our amazing staff and students and feel privileged to be part of such a supportive and vibrant school environment.

Outside of school, I love getting out for walks and bike rides, spending time with family and friends, and heading to the beach whenever I can.

Hi, my name is Casey Twist. I live in Te Kauwhata with my husband Calum and our teenage son and daughter.

I have been part of the office team at Pokeno School since 2021. I have enjoyed getting to know our Pokeno School whanau and look forward to welcoming our new families as we grow.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, camping and bush walks.

I currently work in the school office and enjoy being part of a supportive and welcoming environment. I have worked at Pokeno School for nine years as a teacher aide, where I developed a strong passion for supporting students and contributing to the school community. I truly value the relationships I have built here and appreciate the positive impact the role allowed me to have.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through hiking and going to the gym. I am a proud parent of four adult children, and family is very important to me.

I love being part of the Pokeno School community and am looking forward to continuing my journey in my new role, where I hope to keep supporting others and contributing in a positive way.

I've been a teacher aide for over 10 years and my role with Pokeno School is my most varied. I love the work I get to do within my role as the librarian and can't wait for the new library to be built! I like to think of myself as being part of a big family/village here at Pokeno, helping to shape and encourage our diverse learners.

I have 3 adult daughters and love getting together as a family as often as possible.
