Tēnā koutou e ngā hau e whā tēnei te mihi atu ki a koutou mā
Greetings from the four winds, greetings to you all.

Ko Tainui te waka
Ko Te Ara Pohatu te maunga
Ko Waiomu te awa
Ko Ngati Raukawa te iwi
Ko Ngati Motai te hapū
Ko Ruapeka me Rengarenga ngā marae
No Te Poi ōku tīpuna
I whanau mai ahau i Te Awakairangi
I tipu ake au i Ahitereiria engari kei Manor Park e noho ana
Ko Lance tōku koro
Ko Adele tōku kuia
Ko Elaina tōku māmā
Ko Shanice tōku ingoa

Kia ora e te whānau,

My name is Shanice Tredrea and I am the classroom teacher of Rūma Tekau mā whā.

I am from Lower Hutt but had resided in the Gold Coast throughout my high school education. My hobbies include buying bubble tea, drinking bubble tea and hanging out in bubble tea stores. When I retire, my dream is to become a Bobarista. I also enjoy making dumplings, singing and listening to music.

I am a beginner Te Reo Māori learner and enjoy incorporating language and waiata lessons into my timetable. My teaching is led by the whakatauki “Me mahi tahi tātou mō te oranga o te tatou”. This means that we should work together for the wellbeing of everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Upper Hutt School and look forward to another fantastic year full of new learning experiences and the fostering of whanaungatanga (relationships) and ako (shared learning).

If you would like to contact me, my email is shanice@upperhuttschool.nz.

Ngā Manaakitanga,

Shanice Tredrea
