Kia ora koutou,
My name is Heather Ruru and I am a Rumaki reo Māori teacher at Pasadena Intermediate. This is my second year teaching, after graduating in 2019 with a Māori Medium specialisation teaching degree. I am passionate about the revitalisation of te reo Māori and consider it a privilege to be part of my students’ journey as successful bilingual lifelong learners.
