Hi, my name is Raewynne Hill (Whaea Raewynne) and I am the teacher in Akomanga 9. I strongly believe in developing a Community of Learners where the students and I are partners in our learning journey. I have a strong interest in literacy and love seeing my students being creative while exploring their interests and developing their learning.

Chantal Landman
Kia ora everyone! The children know me as Whaea Chantel and I am in Akomanga 10. Together with your tamariki, we aim to develop a love for learning, while also fostering other crucial skills. It takes a community to raise a child and I am grateful that I am part of that community. Together we can help our little people become the best versions of themselves here at Central Normal School and in the wider world.
