Kia ora koutou, my name is John Macnaughtan. I have the pleasure of being the Digital Technologies/STEAM Teacher at ANI. Throughout my career, I have developed a passion for teaching students the practical applications of technology and the importance of problem-solving skills. I look forward to bringing my enthusiasm for Coding, Robotics, Tinkercad, 3D printing, and other areas of STEAM education to the ANI whanau. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with fellow educators to create engaging, hands-on Steam/Digital experiences that inspire students to pursue their interests and develop their skills.
In my spare time, you will find me Mountain Biking, playing tennis and supporting Liverpool FC and of more recent times Auckland FC. While not doing these activities I will be planning the next family adventure overseas. As a family, we have a passion for travel, and our recent adventures have taken us to vibrant destinations like Malaysia, Vietnam, Nepal, and India. Each trip has allowed us to immerse ourselves in diverse cultures, savour delicious cuisines, and create unforgettable memories together.
I look forward to meeting everyone involved in the ANI family in the coming year.
