Meet+the+teacher

Hi,

I thought I'd jot down a little background information for any parents I haven't had the chance to meet.

My name is Kate Fenton. I have been teaching for over 15 years. I have been teaching in the primary department at MAS for 8 years. During this time I have taught a range of class levels, but mainly juniors. I enjoy working in this environment. The teachers at our school appreciate the excellent facilities we have available and make good use of them! We have a strong, experienced and supportive team of teachers.

I completed my initial teacher training immediately after high school with a diploma in teaching at Waikato University. I then studied part time with Auckland University and completed a degree in Education. I am now working towards an honours degree, and was lucky enough to be granted study leave for terms 1 and 2 this year.

I think it's really important to work in partnership with parents so I am happy to be contacted about concerns, worries, questions. I also appreciate hearing about the good things happening in children's lives - teachers love that stuff! If you would like to email me click on this link katef@mangakahia.school.nz
