Principal

BA(Hons) PGCE MBA

It is my privilege to be Principal at Puketapu School. The staff, community and most importantly the pupils are full of energy and smiles, they certainly make coming to work each day a joy.
Teaching is a great job. The opportunity to continually learn, make a positive contribution to the education of others and see our pupils grow in many ways make all the challenges and hard work worth while. I am as enthusiastic today as I was when I first started teaching over 20 years ago.
I grew up and worked in the UK before taking the opportunity to work overseas where I met my wife. We have two children and came to live in Hawkes Bay over 6 years ago. My family and I enjoy the outdoors and so find living in New Zealand is just great.
