Over the next few pānui we will share a little bit about our Board members so you know who the people are that are governing our kura.

Ko Ruapehu, Ko Taranaki ngā maunga

Ko Whanaganui, Ko Kapuni ngā awa

Ko Aotea tōku waka

Ko Te Morehu, Ko Paraukau ngā whare

Ko Ngati Ruaka, Ko Ngati Tū ngā hapū

Ko Ranana, Ko Waiokura ngā marae

Ko Te Ati Haunui a Pāpā Rangi, Ko Ruahine ngā iwi

Ko Pauro tōku whānau

Ko Che tōku ingoa

Che's son Jethro has been at Te Kura o Tuahiwi for the past two years and his daughter is about to start her first year in Te Rūma Kiwi. Che feels strongly about supporting his own children's education and the revitalisation of our native environment and Te Reo Māori. 

He is an advocate for whānau and puts his hand up to help wherever he can. Che is responsible for setting up the kai deliveries on a Wednesday and leads the property portfolio.
