Janette Gillespie

Teacher Room 7

Hi! I'm Janette Gillespie - Teacher, Netball Coach, Mother of three teenage children.
I am married to Ken, and have 3 teenage children. We have lived at Kihikihi for the past 24 years. Apart from Teaching my other interests are Doll making(Antique Reproductions), Gardening in my large garden, and of course, shopping. I love Teaching and am presently at Te Awamutu Primary School with a Year 1/2 class. I have been at TAPS for 11 years now but previously taught here 26 years ago in my 2nd/3rd/ and 4th year out teaching, then traveled to Pukenui in Te Kuiti for 7 years. I gave up teaching then, to stay home and be a good Mum. That only lasted about 5 years before I was desperately needed to relieve in Te Kuiti for 13 weeks and have been teaching ever since. I am currently Teaching Room 7, a wonderful class of 6 and 7 year olds and thoroughly enjoying this experience.
