Malo e lelei,

My name is Alana Tissingh, and I was born and raised in Morrinsville. I am a past student of MIS and am super excited to return as a teacher.

I have taught at Morrinsville School and Stanley Avenue School in Te Aroha for 7 years before having my daughter. I have just finished up teaching at Peachgrove Intermediate in Hamilton to come back and teach closer to my family.

Being brought up around playing different sports and outdoor activities, I enjoy bringing this passion into my teaching. I feel that learning should be fun and hands-on, which is something I strive towards in my classroom.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and family either in the backyard or at the beach.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know you all.
