Over the next few weeks, we’re excited to introduce you to our amazing Board of Trustees by sharing a little about each of them and the passion they bring to our kura. As you know, our Board of Trustees for 2026 consist of: our Presiding Member, Tineke Iverson, our Parent Representatives Victoria Menary, Gemma Barden, Cat Sole and Karyn Williams, our Staff Representative Tracy Te Wake, and our Student Representative, Stuart Hartley. It will be great to get to know them all better and support their visions for our kura. This week, get to know Cat Sole.
I joined the Board of Trustees because I’m passionate about making a real difference for young people in our community. With over 15 years’ experience in education, I’ve seen how important it is for students to feel supported, understood, and given opportunities to succeed in ways that work for them.
I’m committed to helping create an environment where every learner feels valued and can thrive, and where strong relationships between the school, whānau, and wider community sit at the heart of everything we do.
I’m proud to be part of a team working to make a positive and lasting impact for all our students.
