As a member of the Governance Group I aim to support the continued growth of Kōtui Ako VLN to help ensure the network remains a practical resource for schools.

Having worked closely with the VLN in my role as Principal, I’m happy to offer my time and perspective to help the group function effectively over the next few years. My focus is simply on being a reliable voice for rural schools and contributing where I can to keep the collaboration moving in the right direction.
