Greetings everybody,

A little bit about me.........

My Name is Lucy Cameron (Davenport) and I began teaching at Kapanui School in 2001 after graduating with a Bachelor of Eduction from Wellington College of Education.

At Kapanui School I taught in the Year 7/8 syndicate and thoroughly enjoyed the beginnings of my teaching career.  I organised the school netball, was involved with the Dance Splash, Choir and the very important Lip Sync competition that still runs there to this day.

I took a break from teaching to get married and start my family.  Lucia and Riley arrived over the few years and during that time I relieved in various schools around the Kapiti Coast.

I began teaching at Waikanae School in 2010 with a Year 7/8 class.  In 2012 I moved into the Te Aramoana syndicate with a Year 5/6 class and now in 2016 I am moving back into Te Poutama with the awesome Year 7/8 students again!

We are so lucky here at Waikanae to have such passionate teachers and non teaching staff, supportive parents and incredible grounds for our children to enjoy.  We are always looking for new and innovative ways to ensure our learners get the best out of their education and it's exciting to see how technology is making a positive impact.

Please don't hesitate to contact me on l.cameron@waikanae.school.nz or pop in and see me.  In 2016 I have Staff Meeting commitments on Monday afternoons and Syndicate meetings on Tuesday afternoons.

Some extra things you might see me doing around the school:
  • Coordinate the school netball.  You can find more information about what we offer on our netball blog.  
  • I work with the seniors in choreographing a dance to perform at the annual Dance Splash festival.
  • Coordinating the 40 hour famine for World Vision at the school. 
  • Working with the PTA and Whanau Support Group.

Notice home - 9 Dec, 2015

Welcome to Room 15!
I just want to introduce myself as your child’s teacher for 2016.
During the Christmas break I would love for you to make contact with me via e-mail and let me know what your goals and needs are for your child.  I want to help in any way I can.  By knowing the children and their interests/personalities, will give me a great start in creating programmes etc to suit their needs and capabilities.  Please email me on l.cameron@waikanae.school.nz


You can also visit our class blog where I will keep dates and information up to date about the running of our class and syndicate.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
