Anoushka Carnie

I am Anoushka Carnie and I am really excited to be part of the foundation team at Matua Ngaru School. Still relatively new to teaching, I completed my Graduate Diploma in Teaching Primary in 2016 and before that I did a 3-year Bachelor’s degree majoring in Psychology and minoring in History. Since then I have been teaching years 7 & 8 at Helensville Primary School and loving it. Before all of this I had all of my schooling within West Auckland where I lived with my mother who raised 9 of us, I’m lucky number 9. This makes me a proud aunt to many nieces and nephews who ultimately inspired me to pursue teaching, as I loved watching them grow and develop their knowledge of the world around them. Fun facts; I grew up in Henderson, I live in Riverhead, I love dogs, I have a dog (Zak), and I raised a duck (long story). I am greatly looking forward to meeting and becoming immersed within the Matua Ngaru community.
