Connection to the Upper Hutt by Atama Cassidy https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3 Made with charisma en-us 2022-03-26 05:20:06 UTC 2022-04-03 22:09:50 UTC hello@padlet.com I moved to Upper Hutt last year to begin a new teaching journey. My syndicate name is Remutaka- and so the ranges have a special place in my heart- Atama acassidy35 https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118645842 2022-03-29 05:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118645842 I have found much of what I know through the students- they are the experts- and their shared experiences empower me. They have brought in many artefacts to understand more about their place, our place- Atama acassidy35 https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646449 2022-03-29 05:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646449 https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646514 I have a strong connection to Upper Hutt. I don’t care about the stigma, we love living here. We walk the dog by the river, enjoy the cafes and love the landscape and green spaces we have around here. Mitre 10 also takes up half my income!]]> 2022-03-29 05:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646514 We actually live in Stokes valley so technically lower Hutt! I grew up in chch and feel like I am still getting to know the Hutt area. https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646743 2022-03-29 05:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646743 Lisa lwebster14 https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646790 I moved to Upper Hutt in 2003 to work at Fergusson Intermediate ha ha. Have raised my family here. Everything you need is here and there are many similarities to my upbringing in the South Island :)]]> 2022-03-29 05:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646790 https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118646885 I moved from Lower Hutt to Upper Hutt so have knowledge of both areas and my work is based in Upper Hutt.

Moved me and the kids back to Upper Hutt 3 years ago. I have alot of family that live in Upper Hutt. I am rediscovering Upper Hutt through the eyes of my kids.]]> 2022-03-29 05:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647330 https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647359 Most of my growing up was in the good old Nui for many many moons  I only moved to Upper Hutt to teach at FIS and have moved to live here in the last year. So getting to know the people and area, you can take the girl out of the Nui but not the Nui out of the girl hahaha (Nui=Wainuiomata)]]> 2022-03-29 05:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647359 My grandfather on my mums side went to Silverstream School. My grandparents on Dad's side lived in Lower Hutt so I spent lots of school holidays with them ( I lived in ChCh as a Kid). Upper Hutt's a great balance, not too small, not too big https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647409 2022-03-29 05:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647409 We live in Stokes Valley, so technically Lower Hutt, but feel more connected to Upper Hutt. Being close to the ranges and river is a gift. We hope to move further into UH later in life. We moved back to Wellington 8 years ago after living in Atlanta, GA for 8 years. It's good to be back in this beautiful country!

I was bought up with this strong "settler story" personal history,so have spent the last few years personally and professionally learning and teaching more about our whenua in pre european times. https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647585 2022-03-29 05:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647585 I am from Taranaki originally. I only know a little bit about Upper Hutt. Remutaka has a special place in my heart as it reminds me of the beautiful maunga. https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647618 2022-03-29 05:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2118647618 Sandy.

We only lived there for about 18 months. We moved down to Wellington and first lived over in Whitby and then ended up in Upper Hutt in 2002.
I love all the walks there are around and all the parks for my kids still finding and learning new things through my children of Upper Hutt

UH has everything we needed to feel settled, hills around us, a river, access to a fab city, a lovely community in Silverstream and perfect for raising a family. ]]> 2022-04-03 22:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/acassidy35/e7svb9hxhyfkqtr3/wish/2127553921
