My Story

My name is Georgie Stackhouse and I am excited to be joining the Omihi School team and community.

I recently graduated from The University of Otago with a Bachelor of Education degree, endorsed in Primary Education.

I grew up in North Canterbury in Tuahiwi, just out of Rangiora and after attending high school at St Andrews College in Christchurch I took a gap year, moving to England working at a Prep School called Chafyn Grove in Salisbury. During this year I had the most amazing experiences, having the opportunity to travel half of Europe.

I love the outdoors! I love to spend time at our family bach in Moana, Lake Brunner, water-skiing and wakeboarding. I enjoy all sports, from skiing to netball.

I am thrilled to be starting my teaching career at Omihi and I can't wait to become part of the community and get to know you all!

My Story

Kia ora Ōmihi whānau,

My name is Bella Cubitt, and I am thrilled to be one of the newest additions to the Ōmihi School community!

I grew up in a small rural community called Millers Flat in Central Otago, so joining a close-knit school like Ōmihi feels very special.

I began my teaching career in 2021 in the beautiful Wānaka and Hāwea Flat area. After two and a half incredible years there, I set off overseas for almost two years, travelling through Europe, nannying and teaching in London, and exploring Central and South America. I loved every minute, but I’m so happy to be back in Aotearoa and settling into this wonderful part of the country.

I have been teaching at Woodend School as both a release teacher and a new entrant teacher since May 2025. It will be bittersweet to leave, but I am excited to begin the next chapter of my life further North and join the Ōmihi Whānau.

In my spare time I enjoy singing and playing guitar, creating pottery, spending time in the hills and hanging out with my gorgeous friends and family

I’m truly excited to join Ōmihi in 2026. If you see me around, please come and say hi. I can’t wait to get to know you all!
