Mrs Hammond has been teaching for over 25 years in New Zealand and in England. As a trained Reading Recovery teacher, Mrs Hammond is passionate about literacy and learning for all children, especially those in their early years at school. She has a particular responsibility to learners in Years 0-3. A big part of Mrs Hammond’s job at Tirimoana School is to enrol and welcome new families into our school community. Mrs Hammond enjoys meeting and working with all students across the school to help them on their education journey. When Mrs Hammond is not at school, you will find her spending time with family and friends, reading books or fishing and paddle boarding at Kawau Island and around the Waitemata harbour.
