Our People

The first change most people will notice when they visit the School is the layout of the Office.

Our Honours Board has been hung in our Foyer, and we now have a dedicated Reception space.

Leah Smith is our Receptionist and Student Services Officer; she comes to us from the Grey District Council.  Leah is proudly from Greymouth and will be a familiar face to many.

Leah is the person on the end of the telephone when you ring and will be working to make sure the Office runs smoothly. 

Liz Manning has taken on the Finance Officer role here.  Liz is new to the West Coast having moved here late last year with her husband and 2 sons.
