E noho ana au ki Te Umu Kaha. Ko Aoraki te maunga, ko Waitaki te awa, ko Ngāi Tahu te iwi. Ko Kirsten Stevens tōku ingoa. Ko Tumuaki o Opihi College ahau. Kia ora, I’m excited to be your NetNZ Level 3 Health kaiako for 2026. As a principal and experienced classroom teacher, I’m skilled at building strong relationships, providing clear guidance, and supporting ākonga to manage their learning independently. Much of my own learning has been online, so I understand what helps students stay engaged and succeed. I look forward to learning alongside you.
