Community
Teachers & Staff
Pacific Primary is brought to life by a warm, experienced team of teachers, specialists, and staff across our two schools. Together they create the caring, play-based community where our children learn and grow.
Our team
Teachers who stay
Our teachers tend to make Pacific Primary a career. The average teaching tenure on our staff is eight years, and many of our teachers have been here for twenty, twenty-five, or more years. That continuity means children are cared for by familiar, deeply experienced teachers, and families come to know them well, year after year.
