He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata!
I am a ‘people person’. From a young age, people fascinated me. My passion for people has seen me travel the world, become a teacher and develop into an educational leader. This year I am celebrating my 30th year in education. I particularly enjoy working with young people, helping them to make sense of the world around them – guiding them in learning to be the best they can be.

I love teaching and believe Huntly Primary School is a wonderful learning community. We have amazing talented students who make everyday fun and exciting. It has been my privilege over the years to be a part of many families and in some small way touch the lives of so many people. I love spending time at the beach and enjoy getting outdoors. I am looking forward to a wonderful year with our families and students.

Please feel free to come say ‘hi’ when you walk past room 7 or pop in to have a look at some of the amazing work our tamariki is doing.

Mr Johan's Profile
Kia Ora Whanau, I am Johan and I have been at Huntly Primary School for just over 9 years. I am the technology teacher in Woodwork, teaching year 7 and 8. I love teaching the students new skills and techniques building wooden projects using basic hand tools and machines.
Year 7 students will start building Coffee Mug Holders and Year 8 will build Treasure Chests. Students can be creative in designing their own Poker burn designs on their projects.
We will also introduce students to coding training in Robotics. Students will design and build programmable robots, using motors, sensors and gears. Please come and say hello whenever around the technology block.
