Our Staff
| Marg Milne Room 7 I have been teaching at Pinehill for many years, firstly as the ESOL teacher but more recently as a year 5/6 teacher. I choose to work here because the children are enthusiastic and focused, and I am part of a dedicated, fun team of teachers who support each other. Learning is a life-long journey and I enjoy working with children, supporting each of them as they grow and learn. marg@pinehill.school.nz |

| Karen Blau Room 8 My long relationship with Pinehill School started with the first of my two son's starting as a new entrant in the year 2000. It was the culture of the school and the passion of the teachers who inspired me to become a teacher myself. I graduated from the University of Auckland in 2007 and it was an easy decision to join the Pinehill teaching family in 2008. I feel very honoured to teach Year 1 students and be the first teacher, on their journey, to life long learning. I am also very passionate about the visual and performing arts and I have been the Visual Arts curriculum leader for a number of years. I particularly enjoy working with our gifted art students, to beautify our school, with creative pieces of artwork and murals. karenb@pinehill.school.nz |

| Sandra Troughton Room 15 I am an experienced teacher who has taught in in various places other than Auckland including Tauranga, Wellington and Nepal. I am enthusiastic about enabling young minds and helping children realise their potential. Music is an area where I enjoy both teaching and participating; music is a language which is accessible to all whatever age or ability. As a classroom teacher I find it a privilege to share the learning journey with the children in my class, we all have so much to learn from each other. sandra@pinehill.school.nz |

I care about the global environment and everyone and everything that inhabits our world. I love travelling and orangutans. I am extremely fortunate to work at Pinehill School, with happy, enthusiastic students, parents and staff.
