Team Miro

About

Team Miro is an exciting place to be! It has a strong focus on seeking out the passions that each child has and developing skills and attributes that enhance learning. The HEART values are integral to everything we do. As a team we have embraced BYOD, with more than 75% of senior students bringing their own device to school. Learning assistants support both learning needs and extension. This ensures that children across the team are well supported in their learning. You will find that once your child reaches the senior school, Outdoor Education, becomes a big focus. Camps and trips visiting experts or venues to enhance learning plays an authentic and important part of the learning process as a senior student. We want our children to have every opportunity to be excited and engaged so that they can be the best learner they can be.

Team Miro is a Year 4 - 6 team consisting of four learning spaces. Three of the spaces are collaborative learning spaces where two teachers work together with two groups of children in the one learning area. The other space is a single teaching space and has the one teacher working with a single group of children.


In Dudley we have our Year 5 and 6 children with Jan Thompson and Jen Bourne as their teachers. Jan and Jen both have a passion for eLearning and are HEARTbeat 106.7FM Producers. Jan is the IT Infrastructure Teacher and the Leader of Learning / Leader of Management for Team Miro. Jen also has a passion for The Arts and has established a new Arts’n’Crafts Club.
​

In Awa we have our Year 5 and 6 children with Belinda Walsh and Adam Hastilow as their teachers. Belinda has a passion for music and leads this throughout the school. She is also the leader of our school wide PB4L (Positive Behaviour for Learning) programme. Adam has a passion for any type of sport and you will often see him out on the field during the lunch hour involving children in some sort of game.
​

In Kuaka we have Year 4, 5 and 6 children with Angela Willans as their teacher. Angela is passionate about children and loves finding out what makes each child tick.

In Roto we have our Year 4 and 5 children with Scott Bradley and Sally Pannell as their teachers. Scott leads our sports programme and runs our Chess Club. He is also a HEARTbeat 106.7FM Producer. Sally has a passion for music and loves to sing. If you pass her class….you might just hear her.

Tracey Mora is the Deputy Principal/SENCO of the senior school. She is experienced in leading the senior side of a school and loves to be involved in what the children are doing and learning. She works with the Peer Mediators, Student Council, Media Team and is a HEARTbeat 106.7FM producer. You will often see her with children somewhere.
