Neil Towersey —

Karen has taken on the role of Presiding Member (Board Chair)

Ko Te Aroha tōku maunga

Ko Waikato tōku awa

Ko Brian tōku matua

Ko Helen tōku whaea

Ko Andy Marriott tōku tāne

Ko Dorothy rāua ko Violet āku tamāhine

Ko Karen Clarke ahau.

Our family lives on Snodgrass Road, and consists of Andy, myself, Dorothy (Room 11), Violet (Room 6), Dermott an elderly labrador and Indiana Jones the (scaredy) cat.

We have loved integrating into the local community over the past 14 years, through various sports interests and later once our girls arrived, through local Playcentre, Kindy and now School.

For (paid) work, I have a part-time Project Management role at Robotics Plus, a local Te Puna company, and am very lucky to walk to work.

I have been on the Board since 2019 and am delighted to be part of the team serving the school community in the role of Board Chair (or, it is charmingly renamed, Presiding Member!)

You might ask “what does the Board do”? The bottom line is we are accountable for student achievement and set the vision for the school. If you’d like to know more, please get in touch for a chat and/or have a read of the attached. I’d love you hear from you!
