About Mrs Jamieson

I have been part of Te Hihi School history for a very long time. In 1987 I started here as a third year teacher. Since then I have left and returned several times to the best little school in the country.

I grew up in Auckland and attended Penrose High School. In 1982 I attended the Auckland College of Education and graduated with a Diploma of Teaching. Since then I have continued as a life long learner. I have an Advanced Diploma of Education (equivalent to a degree) and also graduated from the Christchurch College of Education with a Bachelor of Teaching and Learning.

One of my greatest passions is teaching visual art to inspire students to learn outside the square.

My mantra is "Explore, Discover, Inspire".

I  have  the  opportunity  to  work  alongside  our  amazing  staff  and  students  in  all  classes  from  years  1-8.
