Whaea Dana

Kia ora Whanau
My name is Dana Haimona and I have the absolute pleasure of teaching the wonderful tamariki in
Room 9. I have been teaching at Western Heights Primary School for the past 8 years.

 I am so excited for 2022 and cannot wait to see our students reach their goals, find their voices and be inspired to reach their full potential.

The whakatauki ‘Ma te huruhuru ka rere te manu’ meaning ‘Adorn the bird with feathers so it can
fly’ inspires my teaching. I relate feathers to learning and want children to have every opportunity
for learning, so they can fly.
