I am married to Mike and we have two children attending Waihi East School; Kayla is in year 2 and

Braydon is in year 5. We moved to Waihi in 2011to achieve a better work/life balance and now own

and operate a furniture moving business.

After settling in Waihi I spent 5lzfears at Waihi Playcentre taking on various roles at centre. The lastyear before Kayla turned 5 | took on the role of centre President and supported Waihi Playcentre

through a very successful ERO visit in2OL4- During mytime at Waihi Playcentre I also took on various

other responsibilities such as supporting adult education, public relations and fundraising - planning the

centre's 50s golden jubilee celebration and organising the pre-loved toy sale that we ran for two years

were highlights.

I am the Human Resources Manager for the Thames Valley Coromandel Playcentre Association; I have

been working in the human resources field for 12 years. This position involves working closely with

employees and volunteers in the Association and involves recruitment and selection, facilitatingperformance appraisals and employment meetings, attending Governance Board and Association

meetings, and working alongside a great team that supports our 13 centres. I also volunteer as a

member of the Waihi lnline Hockey Club as a committee member and organiser for Saturday skate

nights.

When the school holds events I am always more than happy to help out in whatever way is needed

through parent help for school trips, fundraising events, and baking. I have also voluntarily helped out

as a parent aide in class and from the beginning of term 2 this year started in the role of teacher aide on

a permanent part time basis . I have strong organisational and communication skills, a proven record of

working well in a team, and a passion for Waihi East School; both of our children started Waihi East

School as new entrantt are thriving and love school. I believe that my Human Resources experience

and skills and knowledge gained from volunteer involvement in other clubs would benefit the board and

I would like the opportunity to give back to our wonderful kura by supporting and continuing the great

mahi of our past and current board members.

Thanks for considering my nomination.

Kia Ora,

My name is Julie Mouat and I am interested in re-applying for the position as a parentrepresentative on the Board of trustees.If you don't know me I am, and have been, a'Waihi'person for most of my life. I am married toShane from Waihi Sports & Cycles, have2 children, one of which attends Waihi East currently andwill do for the next2 years. I have an education background and this is one of the things that hashelped me serve as a valued member of the current board. This is a position that requires someonewho is committed to the well being of the school in the present as well as in the future, someonewho can be honest, trustworthy, reliable and also someone who is open minded and approachable. Ifeel this has been evident in both my personal and professional life and also proven in my positionas a trusted board mernber.It's not easy, I can assure you, and I think that the board has worked well together (not an easy featwith such a knowledgeable, strong minded not to mention good looking bunch) over the last 3 yearswhich have made many important decisions from the re-wiring of the school to the bike trackvision to the most important, delicate and difficult task of selecting not only new teachers but a newprincipal to lead our school and for it to continue to strive for the better. All while up holding a highstandard of integrity, respect and also taking into consideration policy and legislation aspects of thejob.Our last ERO report is a fine example of how well the school is doing and, in my opinion,consistency is the key to make sure Waihi East School honours this and continues to 'Rise Aboveand Shine.

I look forward to continuing to serve the school in this capacity and also as a parent who has thebest interest of her child, other children and the school as a whole at heart.

Thank you for your consideration.
