Kia Ora,

My name is Caitlin Oakes, and I began teaching at Marian Catholic School in 2020. I have been passionate about teaching from a young age, as it has been a dream for me to guide students to reach their true potential. I enjoy creating a positive classroom environment that is fun and inviting to ensure all students have a sense of belonging.

I believe it is important for learning to be purposeful and enjoyable so that the students understand the reasoning behind the work that they are doing. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, going to the gym, running and reading.
