Kia ora, my name is Julia May.I have been lucky enough to spend the past 2 years at home with my daughter, Sophie. My husband is the principal of Tauwhare School on Scotsman Valley Road, so we love spending the school holidays together as a family.

I have been teaching new entrant / Year 1 students for the past 10+ years. My hope is to help you and your child/ren transition as smoothly as possible into school life at Te Totara. I like to nurture and encourage children through their learning journey and help them develop the social skills they need to be happy at school. Please come and talk with me about how best to settle your child into school.
