Kia ora,
My name is Kristy Hanks. This is my eighth year teaching at Te Totara Primary School, and my fifth year with year 5/6. Prior to this I taught in the year 3/4 area of the school. I love being part of the Te Totara community and getting to know my students and their whānau. I have passions in teaching literacy and Digital Technologies, and have completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Digital and Collaborative Learning. My classroom is a safe space for children to take risks and step out of their comfort zone, building confidence and resilience.

In my spare time I enjoy riding my horse, hiking, walking my dog, and spending time outdoors.

I look forward to meeting you.
