Kia ora e te whānau, My name is Selina, also known as 'Taonga's Mum'. I work as an Accountant at a local Māori business, providing services to multiple Māori Trusts in Tūwharetoa. I have been on the School Board for two years, and the Board Chairperson for Tauhara Primary since December 2021. During this time we have dealt with covid-19 strains while supporting the teachers to deliver quality learning for our tamaiti. Both of my children have attended Tauhara, a school which encompasses the values of 'AROHA' which are an integral part of the learning process for tamariki. I would like to serve one more term for Tauhara as my son is year 4, and look forward to watching our tamaiti learn and flourish

Kia ora my name is Saraya Holt. I am a mother of 3 and also a previous student of this kura. As a board member, my vision is for all ākonga at Tauhara Primary to excel in all aspects of learning and to be provided opportunities to enable ākonga to excel. I want Tauhara Primary to be a place that welcomes and embraces whānau and the community to support our ākonga in their learning. I envision that our ākonga will leave our Kura knowing that they have been provided with every opportunity and have the confidence in knowing that they achieved to their full potential

Our whanau have been a part of Tauhara Primary for over 8 years either through a volunteer capacity supporting Tauhara and with our two children attending the school. My background is in Finance and Compliance which I worked in the Investment Advisory industry for 12 years. I believe these skills will be transferrable and support the Board of Trustees for Tauhara. I am constantly being developed in my role as a Leader of a non-profit organisation that is committed to seeing people being developed and encouraged to grow and be a positive contributor to our community. Whanau/Family is important to me and supporting our children's school to continue to be a place where they learn and develop is a high priority for our whanau. Family time and being outdoors is what I love do to in my spare time.

Kia Ora, my name is Jason Brown. I’m Originally from Te Tairawhiti but have called Taupo home for the last 25yrs. Tauhara Primary holds a special place for my whanau with my Wife Mara Brown having been a teacher at the school for the past 20 years and also our daughter having also been through the school and is now currently at intermediate. I believe that Tauhara primary School has the ideal learning environment that helps our Tamariki Achieve any goal they may aspire to. Where the board has the strategic plans to help the school to grow to be bigger and better.
