Tēnā koutou katoa
No Kawatiri ahau
Ēngari e noho ana ahau i Whakaoriori inaianei
Ko Aoraki te maunga
Ko Kawatiri te awa
Ko Ruahne te waka
Ko Donelle Parata toku ingoa
Nō reira ngā mihi mahana ki a koutou
Tēnā tātau katoa

Kia ora, my name is Donelle and I am one of the kaiako working here at Wonder Kids
Masterton.
Together with my partner Dave we have five tamariki, as well as three amazing daughters and
son in laws. We are also the extremely proud grandparents of two young moko’s, Ollie and
Violet.
We are an animal mad whānau with three cats and two dogs adding to the chaos at home. Time
with whānau is important to us and we all come together to share kai every Sunday. I have
always wanted to be an early childhood Kaiako, waiting to begin study until our potiki
(youngest) started kura.
I look forward to meeting you all.
