Hi, I’m Debbie Burnside and I am a Year 1 / 2 Teacher and Hub Leader for the Kākano Hub.   We have four girls (Tayla, Becky, Grace and Maia) - varying in age from 22 to 11.  We also have three pets - Charlie (dog), Heidi (cat) and Lola (also a cat).

I was born in Upper Hutt and despite travelling around as an ‘Army child’ I ended up back living and working in Upper Hutt.  This is pretty special to me as I love our community.

I am very passionate about my job and absolutely LOVE it.

My email address is debbie@upperhuttschool.nz or feel free to call in before or after school if you wanted to contact me.
