Kia ora koutou,
I'm a long-time Karori Normal School parent, current Chair of the PTA, and I’ve been coaching netball at the school for several years. My eldest is in her final year at KNS but my youngest still has four exciting years ahead.
I’m standing for the Board to continue supporting our school community with a clear focus: every decision should benefit our children’s learning, wellbeing, and development and align with the school’s agreed strategic direction.
In my current role as an IT portfolio manager at the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment I am well-versed in responsible decision making, asking the hard questions and ensuring projects meet their intended outcomes.
My career in project and service management also reflects my collaborative, practical approach to achieving results. I believe in supporting the connections within our school community to create a positive environment for all tamariki.
Given the limited funding schools face today, it’s more important than ever to make well-informed decisions and foster effective collaboration to achieve the best outcomes for KNS.
I believe my skills would be a valuable addition to the KNS Board, and I would be honoured to represent you on it. Please vote for me, I’d love your support.
Ngā mihi,
Julia
