HAWERA INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL

A Pathway to Success

HAWERA INTERMEDIATESCHOOLA Pathway to Success

A Message From Neryda

Kia ora Whanau and Students


Welcome back to Term 2 - what strange times we find ourselves in.

We do hope everyone is safe in their bubbles, following health official guidelines, and being kind to one another.

As we enter a school environment through distance learning, your first priority is to look after your own and student well-being. If you are feeling overwhelmed please step back from the learning, and re-engage at a later time.


The School Term begins on Wednesday 15th April.

On Tuesday 14th April, students will be assigned remotely, their learning for the Wednesday.

Wednesday will begin with a class "Zoom" session for those who can connect.Teachers will invite students to this class meeting.


We expect teething issues and know that some students will not be able to join this on- line meeting. Throughout the day teachers will make contact with their class and help out where they can. Please be patient, this is new for everyone!

Please read the following student protocols, these are our school's expectations for learning in the home.


All the best for Wednesday- in the meantime I'm hoping everyone can find some joy over the Easter Weekend.

Ministry of Education Support

Yesterday the Government announced a package of initiatives to support schools and centres with learning from home, including delivery of learning packs, the roll out of internet and devices, two TV stations, and online resources for whānau.

It's a significant and welcome package which has been rolled out in a very short amount of time. This will help support the hard work schools and early learning centres have been doing to figure out how they will best support their local communities and the wellbeing of their students.


Thank you for your response to teacher requests for information re: internet devices, connectivity, hard pack materials and lock down addresses.

This information was uploaded to the Ministry to support them in this roll-out.

Ahinekura Crawford - Whanau Leader

Tena koutou katoa,


Ko Ahinekura Crawford (nee Tamaiva)


This year I have the privilege of leading and working with a wonderful, energised and vibrant Ohawe team Whanau. I am the Teacher in Room 2.


I was born, raised and did all my schooling right here in Hawera. I am married to a wonderful man, Ihaka and have 2 awesome children. Hapotiki, 20 and Arcadia, 7 at Hawera Primary. Since 2006 I have taught in Masterton, Featherston, and Wellsford and moved back to Hawera in 2016.


When not working at school, I like to be involved at my local Marae, participating in Kapa Haka, singing and I really love hanging with whanau and making memories. I enjoy guiding students to recognise and achieve their own potential and to be successful on their pathway to success while here at Hawera Intermediate school.


I'd like to extend a warm welcome to our new staff members who are also part of the Ohawe Whanau, Kylie Surgenor, Lania Careswell and Emily Davidson.

Emily Davidson

Kia Ora Whanau

My name is Emily Davidson, I grew up in the Wairarapa and have lived in Taranaki for the past 17 years. I am married with 3 children who all attend Patea Area School and we moved to Hawera from the Taranaki coast one year ago. My background teaching experience is mostly associated with The Arts, which I am extremely passionate about.

Over the past few years I have been a relief teacher so I have missed having my own classroom and I am looking forward to this opportunity to work with students and whanau from Hawera Intermediate .

Outside of school I am a community minded person, currently I help run a Taranaki wide baby loss support group, am involved in Hawera Repertory and love to share resources from my garden.

Lania Careswell

My name is Whaea Lania, I am a Hawera local with whakapapa to Ngati Ruanui. I have two beautiful baby girls Kaylia who is 2 years old & Kiara who is 9 months old. I completed my teaching degree through Waikato University via distance, graduating at the end of 2017. Since then I have been a stay at home mum & finally feel ready to get back into it.

My hobbies include reading, swimming & gaming. My partner & I love to take our kids out on adventures around Taranaki enjoying nature whenever we get the chance. My strongest areas in the classroom are reading and writing & I love trying to make schoolwork fun & enjoyable. I can't wait to get into things & I look forward to meeting everyone!

Kylie Surgenor

Kia Ora,

I am Kylie Surgenor, a South Taranaki local, my whakapapa is to Ngaruahinerangi. I live in Normanby with my husband David, two sons Tylor and Max, and our cute little companion dog Chloe.

I began my teaching career here and love teaching the preadolescent age group. I left about five years ago, and have since been working as a facilitator for Cognition Education. I bring with me two strengths I have developed over the years, Maths and Relationship Based Learning two areas the school is targeting.

I look forward to getting to know Room 5 and am passionate about returning to the classroom. It is going to be an exciting journey!

Be kind

Make a difference by supporting friends, neighbours and whānau, especially the elderly and vulnerable.

Stay home

Everyone should stay at home. This is the best thing we can all do to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Wash you hands

Wash often. Use soap. 20 seconds. Then dry. This kills the virus by bursting its protective bubble.
