Christoph Teschers

Board Member

Kia ora whānau, my name is Christoph and, together with my wife Barbara, we have two kids at our school. I joined the school board in 2025 and am glad to be able to support our amazing kura in this role.

I am originally from Germany and moved to Aotearoa in 2009. We lived first on the other side of the hills in Christchurch, had a short 2-year stint in Auckland, and finally settled in the bay in 2017, planning to stay for good.

Jobwise, I am working at UC as a lecturer in education with a focus on wellbeing, flourishing and inclusion. I hope that my expertise in this area will be helpful for the board and our school. I am quite passionate about Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our commitment to the bi-cultural heritage of our country. It is such a treasure for our children to be able to learn from and build on the foundation of two (and sometimes more) cultures during their formative years. I look forward to serve with such amazing colleagues as taikiaki of our school.

Ngā mihi nui,

Christoph.
