Welcome to Riroriro Whānau
At Manurewa West Primary School our Junior teachers are a team of caring, enthusiastic, highly skilled professionals passionate about student learning. Our goal is for all students to reach their full potential ensuring success for each individual.
As a team, we put effort into creating fun and engaging environments that make students love coming to school. We have a strong focus on creating warm, friendly relationships with our students so they feel supported, happy and safe at all times. We work collaboratively to build a strong base in Literacy and Numeracy to ensure students leave the Junior School with strong foundations for future learning. We have high expectations for all students and this is reflected through our challenging, child-centered programmes.

About Me
My oldest son lives with his family in Taupo so I spend many holidays there enjoying a more relaxed pace and swimming in the lake. I love reading books and always have a stack by the side of my bed ready for me to tuck into. My absolute favourite food is watermelon. When I buy one for the household I also buy one for meJ I look forward to working with our children this year and meeting all our whanau.Tina Voordouw

About Me
Greetings! I am Tina Voordouw working with a lively group of Year 1 & 2’s in Room 1. Our little ones are acquiring wonderful Reading, Writing and Maths skills and it is exciting to be part of their progress. When I am not at school I enjoy spending time with my awesome daughters: Abi who is a Librarian, and Lainee – another Teacher. I also love the bush and the beach which means time out at Maraetai or in the Hunua Ranges.
