Kia ora Koutou

My name is Rochelle Lingard and I am thrilled to lead the Milky Way team. I have been teaching for 22 years and it is still my passion to help children to succeed.

I grew up in Rangiwahia in a farming community. I then moved to Hamilton to study and have made this city my home. Owen Lingard and I have two beautiful girls, Tara and Amber.

Away from teaching I enjoy gardening reading and holidaying at the beach.

I am excited about my journey with Te Totara Priamry and look forward to meeting you all.
