Hei konā, Amy J “Kia Ora e te whānau ō Te Kura o Whakaahu. As a current board member I have been fortunate to learn about governance and how a school should be run. And I can attest to the fact that WHPS is run like a well oiled machine, from the top to the bottom and everywhere in between – exactly how a school should be. This brings me great comfort and a sense of security to know and be a part of this. I have learnt so much in such a short amount of time, and none more so than to learn first hand just how committed the senior management team and all staff are committed to providing a quality education for our tamariki. I have one child currently at WHPS, one of which is a 2019 prefect; and it brings me great pleasure to know that she is being mentored by such “top-notch” staff to enable her to develop her leadership skills. I look forward to learning more and helping to make the WHPS whānau, a sustainable ‘force to be reckoned with’ ;) Ngā mihi whānau katoa ” |

Kia Ora My name is Nicky Grimes (Whaea Nicky) and I am fortunate enough to be the staff representative on the Board of Trustees. I have been working at the best school in Rotorua, Western Heights Primary, for the past 9 years. I have taught in all year groups during this time. Being part of the board over the past 3 years has been a great experience. It has given me the chance to see the hard work that happens behind the scenes of our school, as well as having the opportunity to share staff input, parent feedback and other ideas with the board members. Tē tōia, tē haumatia Nothing can be achieved without a plan, workforce and a way of doing things |

Kia ora Whānau! E tū hei Maunga! My name is Raana Reuben and I'm a Parent and BOT at our School. My adult children attended our School a few years back and my little girl is currently at School. Heres the thing.... I think our School really knows our community, our whānau and our kids, and that's paramount to me. I'm happy to continue to roll up my sleeves and work together with my fellow Trustees for all the positives for our tamariki and our School.
