Meet your representatives
My name is Andrew Green and I am standing for the Addington Te Kura Taumatua School Board.
I have two children at Addington Te Kura Taumatua, Evie in year four, and Fletcher who just started in term two this year.
Rachael and myself live locally and very much see the school as the hub of our community. We have been very encouraged by the experience we have had with both of our children, including the diversity of cultures attending the school, the teaching staff and senior leadership. I would like the opportunity to work alongside the staff to support them to the best of my abilities.
I have a trades background having completed apprenticeships in both Joinery and carpentry and have worked in these industries for 13 years. For the last 3 years I have worked for the Building, Construction Industry Training Organisation where I was initially a Training Adviser with responsibility for up to 90 apprentices. For the last 15 months I have moved into a moderation/quality assurance role which sees me working along side polytechnics, secondary schools and other organisations to ensure the students are receiving the best possible trades related education from these institutions. As part of this I am also working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Education.
I would like to continue to see all tamariki receiving the best possible education they can whilst at Addington Te Kura Taumatua.
Kia ora, I grew up in Christchurch, and am an Addington local of 12 years with 2 children at Addington Te Kura Taumatua. I've worked locally for 10 years and currently manage Addington Coffee Co-op, and the associated businesses behind the cafe. Through successes and failures I've learned a lot about working with culture, people, finance and strategy. For fun, I dabble with playing drums in a few musical endeavours on the side. The rest of my week is often spent watching my kids run riot at Margaret Mahy Playground. Addington is home for me, my family and numerous friends in our community. It would be a privilege to contribute back to our local school and community through the Board. If you have any questions regarding my candidacy, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Kia ora koutou. My name is Jo and I live in Addington and grew up in the area. I work in our community as School-Community Liaison. My youngest child, Aidan, is at Addington Te Kura Taumatua. You might see me around the community at South West Baptist Church or at the Addington Coffee Co-op (where my husband, John, works). I have been on the Board at Addington for 3 years and have enjoyed being part our school's growth and development over that time. It's great to see the new buildings almost complete, and to see how our students and staff are enjoying the new spaces. I am standing for the Board again because I want to be part of seeing all our tamariki grow in Awesome Achievement, Brilliant Behaviour and being Connected Citizens. Being on the board is one way I can help make sure that everyone is growing and thriving in our school.
I have been a member of the board since 2010. I am a mother of 3 energetic children. Coco who is 6 and attends Addington. Jorja is at South Intermediate and Haali is at Hagley College. I enjoy supporting our Maori and Pasifika families at their hui and fono. I am also a member of the PTA.
