Denis Brittenden

Teacher of Music and French

I have been teaching on the peninsula for 16 years. My specialist subjects are Music, French and Mathematics. Over the years I have taught French to NCEA level and am passionate about its place in our 'French' environment. I have been privileged to to have attended university/teaching courses in Tahiti and New Caledonia. With Music I get a lot of pleasure seeing students progress and enthusiasm with their music instrument learning where they can learn keyboard, guitar, ukulele and descant recorder. I have taught Maths to NCEA level and have attended Numeracy leadership courses which has given me a grounding of teaching this subject in the primary level.
