Iām Troy and I started my journey as the principal in January 2022. I came from Russell Street School where I was the Deputy Principal for 4 years and was a teacher there for 7 years.
I come to Palmy by way of Auckland where I was born and bred. However, I love the ManawatÅ« and am a huge advocate for this place, despite the bad rep it sometimes gets from those who donāt know how good it is! Iāve also taught in Dubai and Brunei Darussalam.
I come from a lineage of educational leadership as both my parents were principals in Auckland, so they are delighted Iāve followed in their footsteps. I pride myself on building positive relationships with everyone, which ties in nicely to one of our school values of whanaungatanga. Iām a huge believer of the MÄori whakataukÄ« āMÄ te pÄ te tamaiti e whakatipuā - It takes a village to raise the child and want that for all here at Turitea School.
I am pretty easy to find around here as you usually hear me before you see me. I am a massive fan of the NBA and I am an avid Phoenix Suns supporter and I love having a yarn with those who are passionate about it too, or ways to make our kura the best place it can be.
