Kia Ora, My name is Sarah and I am currently a member of the board of trustees here at Bishopdale School. I am a mother of three girls, two of which attend Bishopdale school their names are Rose, Grace and Maddison. I enjoy spending time at school helping out in any way I can, supporting our Teachers and Tamariki. I do lunches on Fridays at school so have been fortunate to meet most of the children in our Kura.

Kia Ora

My name is Nga Huia I come from Ngati Kauhugnunu, Nga Rauru and Ngai Tahu.

My three children Anahera, Atamira and Ardijah attend Bishopdale School.

I live in Christchurch I'm also a new member of the Board of Trustees.

Its lovely walking into the school gate every day and seeing all the lovely faces of all our tamariki here at this great kura.

I enjoy coming into school on my days off from work and helping out at the school where ever possible, especially love anything sports related but it's also great coming in on Fridays to do sausage sizzle for all our wonderful students.

Shannon Meredith

Kia Ora Bishopdale School whānau. 

My name is Shannon Meredith and I joined the school board of trustees earlier this year. I have four children, Ryder and Kinley attend Bishopdale School and I have two little ones at home who will be future students.

Our family moved from Invercargill to Christchurch at the start of 2021 and we are loving our new community. I joined the board of trustees so I could support our staff in providing a safe and nurturing environment for our tamariki to learn and grow.

In my spare time I love to spend time with my family outdoors and take care of my garden. I am passionate about growing my own food and look forward to sharing this passion with our students by providing seedlings they can grow at home.
