Introducing Board of Trustees Members:
Ricky Hann - Chairperson
Tena Koutou,
I am looking forward to being the new Chair of your Paengaroa School Board of Trustees. My wife Jane and I are passionate about the school and Paengaroa community. We have lived locally in Paengaroa for several years and Jane's family has a long involvement with the area. Previously, I worked as a lawyer at a local law firm but now own and operate a kiwifruit orchard management company. We have four children - Charlotte (Room 7), Jack (Room 4), Flora (Paengaroa Kindy) & Juliet.
I am excited about the role and chance to get to know the families and students who have chosen Paengaroa School. The new Board is really motivated to work hard for our School & all our learners, building on the work of the past Boards. I would love to hear from anyone with feedback or ideas for the School. A special thanks to Amy & the other outgoing Board members for their hard work over the last few years!
