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 Stuart Hartley:
Kia ora, my name is Stuart, and I am the Student Representative on the board of trustees. I am really enjoying branching out into the rest of the student body to develop a strong understanding of their needs.
I was born in Waihi and have gone through my entire secondary schooling here at Waihi College. I enjoy taking on new roles and this has been my favorite one yet.
I am looking forward to building bonds with my fellow students and growing into my leadership role further.
