General Information
Kia ora!
My name is Sabhyata, though most people know me as Saby. I’m originally from India and have been living in beautiful Aotearoa for over ten years. I now live in Pōkeno with my husband and our two lovely children.
I have a strong passion for working with children and feel privileged to be part of their learning and development journey. Watching tamariki grow, explore, and gain confidence brings me great joy and purpose. I believe in creating a nurturing, inclusive, and supportive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged.
Outside of school, I love spending time with my family—whether we’re enjoying the outdoors or simply relaxing at home together.
