Brent Griffin

Kia ora koutou katoa
My name is Brent Griffin, I have been the Principal of this amazing school for 21 years. I feel
very privileged to be in this position.

I work with an amazing team and together we achieve great things.

In 2015 I received the honour of winning the NEITA National Leadership Award. That award
was presented to me but it actually symbolised the incredible job the team at Western
Heights Primary school do every day. The staff are inspirational and I have so much aroha
for them.

My main goal is to provide an environment that focusses on love and belonging and all
tamariki will feel safe to be who they want to be and they will feel confident to take risks
and express themselves within their learning.

My door is always open, if we work together as a community and school our tamariki will
flourish.

2024 is going to be a fantastic year. Its time to forget about all the barriers we have faced
over the past 4 years and find the good in all areas of our life. A happy, vibrant community
and whanau inspires children.

Nga mihi nui, I appreciate your ongoing support.
