I have been teaching for 12 years now, 7 of those at PPS. I have particular strengths in literacy, numeracy and health and believe strongly in developing children's independence and self management in learning.

In my own time I love spending time with my family (a teenage daughter and two step children), reading, making candles, doing water sports and travelling around our beautiful country.

I joined the Papanui Primary team in 2020 and I am excited to be part of the senior team this year. I am passionate about art, literacy and supporting children to build confidence, leadership and independence.

I have an awesome son who is preparing for his wedding this year and I look forward to sharing this special time with them. One of my favourite ways to relax is heading off for road trips around our wonderful country, fishing in the canals around Twizel, sketching, music, travel and reading a good book.

Kia ora, my name is Pamela Marshall and I am a senior school teacher working alongside Nicky Zampese in Korimako Pod. I began my teaching career in 2012, arriving at Papanui Primary School in 2016. I am a wife and a mum who thrives on weekend adventures out and about with my family.

I feel privileged to work within the team at Papanui who have a strong and united drive to provide the very best care and education to each of our learners and their whanau.

Kia ora, I'm Nicky Zampese and I've been teaching at Papanui since 2009.

I have taught across most year levels and I particularly enjoy seeing the growth in self belief and maturity of children over the year or two that we get to work with them. I strongly believe that the school values and culture at Papanui make it a really special place to teach and learn. Outside of school life I enjoy walking, reading, gardening and spending time with my children and my grandson.

Kia ora whānau

I am passionate about teaching and have experience across all primary school levels. By building relationships and knowing my students well I deliver learning opportunities that engage akonga via their interests, meeting individual learning needs in a positive nurturing environment.

My two adult sons are my proudest 'achievements' and I enjoy spending time with family and friends. We love the mountains, skiing in the winter, biking and hiking in the summer. Recently moving from a small town I find the city an exciting contrast. I love all aspects of the arts and take advantage of as many events as possible in Christchurch.
