Our Staff

“Being the Tumuaki of Renwick School is such a privilege and a role I treasure.”

Each morning as I walk through the school gate, I am grateful for the environment, the people who make the school look its best, and the supportive families who are there to lend a hand.

I am also extremely fortunate to be working alongside a very dedicated team of staff who strive to be the best for every student — students who work hard to be the best they can be, who share a smile and are enthused by the authentic learning they create and share.

As we set goals to focus on the things that will improve education achievements for all, I am constantly reflecting on systems to ensure we are capturing effective evidence, not assumptions. To support this I constantly look to grow the capabilities of our teaching staff, and oversee the investments we make to build consistency across the school.

In 2024 we introduced PB4L — Positive Behaviour for Learning. PB4L is based on international evidence and tailored to fit our school’s environment and cultural needs. The programme is not about changing the student; it’s about changing the environment, systems and practices we have in place to support them to make positive behaviour choices. Our school values — respectful, resilient and resourceful — are woven throughout this work.

2026 is an exciting year as we continue to implement the refreshed English and Mathematics curriculums. I know our staff team are dedicated to doing the very best they can for every ākonga.
