Koka Rea was my favourite teacher at SWIS. She wasn´t just a Kaiako but family, she´d take me in & made sure I was always safe. As I transitioned to college she would always check in to see how I was doing, she will be dearly missed x we love you koka

Our Mum's were sisters..... I have many happy memories of Rea as a you girl- visiting the farm in the August school holidays. It was a wonderful, fun & adventure time - being a town girl. I remember sneaking out of the house, driving the gnat, tree huts, feeding the lambs. Memories that won't be forgotten. Chatting and texts were our way of catching up more recently ... and we still had a lot of laughs together.
Rest in peace Rea
Love your Auckland couzy
