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 Principal Briar Carden-Scott, 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 Briar Carden-Scott:
As Principal of Waihī College, I am committed to ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive in a safe, inclusive, and future-focused learning environment. I believe that strong relationships with students, staff, whānau, and our wider community are at the heart of a successful school.
As the Principal, I am also a member of the Board of Trustees, providing educational leadership and working alongside the Board to ensure decisions are always made in the best interests of our students and school community.
I am passionate about creating a culture where everyone feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their personal best. Together, we are building a school where excellence, wellbeing, and community are at the centre of everything we do.
