Tena Koutou

My name is Annette Toombs and I have recently retired from full time teaching after 30 years in the classroom. I am an experience Junior school teacher with skills in working with both Gifted and Talented and Special Needs children. My last position was in a Normal school and I have many years experience at working with trainee teachers, and alongside the Faculty of Education.
Retirement has given me the freedom to work part-time, day to day relieve and volunteer in schools, as well as having the time to enjoy my 4 grandchildren and be involved in their lives. In our spare time my husband and I enjoy reading, gardening and supporting our 2 grown up boys and their families .
It is a privilege to be teaching at Te Totara School and I look forward to sharing in your child's learning.
