Paige Paewai

Head Teacher, The Hive (Rātā)

Level 3 NZQA National Certificate ECE, working towards Bachelor of ECE

Paige was born and raised in the sunny Hawkes Bay in the North Island. She lived there her whole life until February 2021, when she made the move down south. This move was influenced by her teaching, as she wanted to explore a different area and centre to grow her knowledge in her profession. It has been an amazing experience so far. In Her whānau includes parents Nathan and Ursula, and a sister called Tori. They have a small immediate whānau, but have an enormous extended whānau. They grew up living in town, but they have a whānau farm and a whānau beach house which growing up they spent a lot of time at. Both these places are incredibly special to Paige and influenced her love for the outdoors.
