Meet Mr Blake


Welcome Students and Whanau,

I'm looking forward to another exciting year here at Reremoana School and am especially excited to be teaching Year 4s and 5s in Room 8 this year.

I grew up in East Auckland and have been living in Manukau for about 6 years now. This is only my second year of teaching and I'm enjoying the challenge and variety that teaching brings.  Prior to teaching I worked for several years in banking and consumer finance and studied ICT and Communication Studies.  I feel really privileged to have secured a role at Reremoana School, where there are extensive opportunities for professional development and there is no shortage of professional support from colleagues and management.

I'm really good at falling off my new mountain bike.




In my spare time I enjoy mountain biking, weight training and spending time with friends and family.  I'm a big movie buff and I'm a bit of a news geek; I like to follow news and events from around the world.



My philosophy on teaching is to focus on developing the skills necessary to become lifelong learners. In Room 8 we will be learning how to think and to be discerning about our choices, among a multitude of other things. I have high expectations of my students and I know they will meet them.

Parents, I encourage you to come and see me if you have any celebrations or concerns.  Alternatively, you can always contact me via email: davidb@reremoana.school.nz.

Looking forward to a productive year of learning,
Mr Blake
