Kia ora Whānau of Haeata.

I feel very privileged to be working in my role as a Director of Learning at Haeata Community Campus.  Prior to beginning in this role I worked as a Deputy Principal at a kura also on the East of Christchurch.
I am passionate about community through the lens of a mother, educator and leader.   
I believe in promoting personal and social development through fostering positive attitudes and building strong relationships.

The future at Haeata excites me, the opportunities are endless not just for our young people but also for our community.

Kia ora koutou.

​

I am really thrilled to be part of Haeata Community Campus as a Director of Learning. Prior to taking up this role I was the Tumuāki of Te Karaka Area School (Gisborne), which was a new school in 2011.

 I have previously been a Principal also in Wellington, Fiji and Rangiwahia (Manawatu). I have been as Assistant Principal in Paihia, and a teacher at Waiheke High School, Kawhia School, Nertherton Primary (Waikato)  and Highlands Intermediate (New Plymouth).

​

I love being involved in learning that involves the learners in being a full part of their own learning and is easily relatable to real-life. I believe that the more our young people can become actively involved in leading their own learning, the more effective it will be.

Kia Ora, my name's Jono. Originally I'm from the sunny shores of Dunedin, but have spent my teaching career traveling and teaching in Gisborne, Qatar, Wellington, and now Christchurch. I'm an avid fan of the open learning environment, and of exploring students' passions to enable them to learn in a way that suits them the best. I am dedicated to ensuring that students find success in whatever and wherever they can.

Ko Tara O'Neill au.  Working at Haeata Community Campus is more than a job, it is a lifestyle in the wonderful community or Aranui and Christchurch.   I love that my job includes teaching  Ākonga and leading a passionate team.  We want the very best for each child and put time into creating opportunities and environments which form a community to educate students to grow confident, capable, self-directed learners.  My immediate family live in Christchurch with me.  My Husband Pete is the Head Chef at the Christchurch Adventure park, my two older children attend University and my two younger are students at Haeata.
