Kia ora tatou, ko Rebecca ahau. I am the mother of Willow and Bodhi and I sit on the board of Our kura. I was born bere in Tauranga and my husband and I returned here after some travel to raise our children. Tauranga Moana really is one of the most Beautiful places on earth! I have been a board member for coming up 3 years now, the experience has been a real privilege I have attended many workshops through the Ministry of Education on Te Tiriti and governance and I have just registered to attend a workshop on monitoring and reporting. I consider myself a friendly and approachable person, so if you see me free to come up and say hi
"Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa- “Let us keep close together, not wide apart”
I chose this proverb because community is something that is extremely important to me. We have more in common with each other. than we do differences and we all want the same for our tamariki, to be healthy, happy and resilient people.
My name is Chris Sio, I am the father of Quin Sio who is in his second year of schooling at Greerton Village School - Te Kura O Maarawaewae, my 4th baby to grow and learn at this amazing kura. Previously my daughters Alana (Year 11) and Jessica (Year 10) and eldest son Aiden (Year 8) all rolled through the great GVS machine — my queen Melanie (Mel) Sio also sat on this school board, and I myself was a regular fixture at GVS, coaching a couple of teams and many school activities supporting my three kids attending at the time. Playing a role on the current B.O.T then, is a great opportunity for me to again be involved here at kura, and once again be able to
support my youngest tamariki in his learning journey notwithstanding the school as a whole. My line of work is a Graphic Designer / Videographer which I work at from home. Manuia le aso — have a great day.
Kia ora My name i: Chloe Cave and I represent the staff at Te Kura O Maarawaewae on the School Board. I teach in our new entrant room and have been at our Kura since 2020. I love this Kura and want only the best for our tamariki and whanau. I look forward to providing my support and being a voice for an amazing group of Kaiako.
