Kia ora koutou,
My name is Brittany Moore and I am so excited to be joining Neptune 24! I graduated from the University of Waikato at the end of last year with a Bachelor of Primary Teaching and also have experience in early childhood. I have a holistic and caring approach to teaching therefore I intend to nurture my students' talents and passions.
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, running, gardening, cooking and travelling around the beautiful Aotearoa. I have a huge passion for performing arts, especially dance.
I look forward to getting to know you all at Te Totara- please feel free to come in for a chat!

Kia Ora, I am Komal Kumar, the classroom teacher of Neptune 25. I love being part of our Te Totara family and I am looking forward to an exciting year ahead.

I believe unity is what brings about progress and I am looking forward to being able to work alongside my students to make this year meaningful, purposeful, and memorable.

I look forward to meeting you all soon!

Kai ora. I'm Bridget McLaughlin, and I'm loving being back at Te Totara School where I started my teaching career in 2013. I am looking forward to supporting my new class of 2024 learners. I have a passion for gardening, and aim to bring this passion into our classroom.

I'm married to Brendon, and have two teenage sons. I also have Sam, our dog, five chickens and two sheep at home.

I love pottering around in my greenhouses, collecting roses and growing vegetables. I also enjoy spending time in the bush either running or tramping.

I am looking forward to meeting Neptune 26's families, so please come and say hi!

Hi there,
My name is Suzie Goile, and I am the Neptune Team Leader.
I have been at Te Totara since 2008 and I have taught in many areas of the school during this time.
I find teaching in the junior school very rewarding as I aim to give the children a great start to school life. I love to see how quickly they learn and the amazing gains they make over the year.
My husband and I have three children, Charlie who is 11, Rachel who is 9 and Lily who has just started at Te Totara. In my spare time I love to spend time at the beach, read and go on lots of different adventures with my family.

Kia Ora,
My name is Tina Walter and I am so excited to be teaching Neptune 28. I completed my Bachelor of Education at the University of Waikato in 2023, and am eager to begin my teaching journey here at Te Totara primary school, where I'll be committed to providing a supportive and engaging environment for our students to thrive.
A little about me, I'm a huge sports fan but football is my favourite - Go Manchester United! I also enjoy baking in my spare time and traveling on the weekends.
Please feel free to drop by anytime with any questions or queries, or even for just a chat! I look forward to meeting you all in 2024, and getting started with what’s going to be a great year.
