We recently held elections for two of our five parent representative positions for the Board. We received two nominations for these positions so did not need to proceed with a full election process. The Board warmly welcomes Ariana Batstone and Rachael Scott. Ariana and Rachael bring a wealth of experience and expertise that will be hugely valuable around the Board table. Sadly, both Brad Sutton and Mel Bleach chose not to stand for a further term but we wholeheartedly thank them for their passion and commitment over the years. Brad was a member of the Board for seven and a half years and Mel for three years, helping us through some periods of significant challenge and change. Ka pai!

The Board also sees a change in its student representative. Arran Armstrong replaces MacKenzie Butler following student elections in September. MacKenzie has been an amazing contributor to the Board over the last three years and brought great insights and wisdom from our student voice. We wish her well with her studies and future career.
