Hi my name is Rebecca Thomson and I am the Head Kakiako of the Graduation Kindergarten.  I am married to Tony and we have two children Jonty and Mackenzie.  I have a Diploma of Teaching (Early Childhood Education).  I enjoy working with and alongside our tamariki and their whānau.  Every day is rewarding as I love the natural curiosity, innocence and spontaneity of our children as they take on different developmental challenges.  I believe that the learning environment is made up of strong foundations for our children.  These foundations start from the relationships, respect that we as kaiako have for our families and children.  Relationships and respect is an important factor for our children, to feel safe and happy which encourages learning and curiosity.

My name is Shelly Fredric and people call me Shellz.  I live here in Waipukurau with mu husband Fred and we have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren.

I gained my ECE qualification in 2009 and from there I have worked in 3 centres in the Hastings area.  Each centre assisted me in strengthening my understanding of the diversity of cultures and ethnicites within the community and how this impacts the learning of our tamariki.

I have a particular interest in carpentry and science and will enjoy sharing this with the tamariki and kaiako in Middle Kindergarten.

I am very excited to be teaching here in Waipukurau and look forward to working alongside you and your tamariki.
