Jo Odds
Arts specialist
I am delighted to be a part of the Clevedon School team. Prior to teaching here, I taught at Balmoral School and Takanini School. Before training to be a teacher, I travelled lots, managed performing arts festival venues, worked in the ski industry and apple-picking, to name but a few.
I love being a teacher and it is a joy to share my passion for the arts with our tamariki. I believe in fostering every child’s innate curiosity and creativity, and helping them take ownership of being the best they can be.
When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Gregg, and our toddler, Jessica. If I'm not busy leading my drum band, AKSamba, you'll find me cooking (and eating!) good food, playing board games, or slowly but surely finishing our garden in Pukekohe.
