Dave Moran

Teaching Year 4 & 5

Bachelor of Teaching

I’m a dad of a pigeon pair, both at primary school age and have done volunteer work with kids for a long time. I gained a Bachelor of teaching (primary) at Waikato University, and have had the best job in the world ever since. It’s an enormous privilege to work at Ngahinapouri school, for me it’s a dream job! The kids here are truly fantastic, and the feeling of community and support from parents is outstanding. In spare time I love to get out kayaking, or finding places of beauty to photograph (you don’t have to go very far in New Zealand!). Family time is hugely important to me, and together we support my wife in her role as a professional musician.

I have fairly old-fashioned values – I like to teach children about respect and thinking of others. I also like to have the occasional laugh – school should be fun too!
