About Me

Ko Tracy Gasnier toku ingoa. I grew up in Te Hoe and attended Te Hoe School. My teaching career over the last nearly 20 years has seen me working as a full time classroom teacher in the Auckland, Cambridge and Te Awamutu areas. During this time I have taught a range of year levels and types of positions. My husband and three children - Addilyn, Delaney and Emerson moved back to Te Hoe and I am thrilled with my journey at Whitikahu School next year. I am very excited about working with all the students and whānau and embracing opportunities on offer. With a passion for education and commitment to success, I am enthusiastic about the structured approaches to learning. I enjoy using the inquiry process followed at Whitikahu and getting to know all of the students. I am happy to a part of Whitikahu School and meeting the local community.
