Nau mai, haere mai ki te whānau! �� 

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Lisa Wichman Kelly as our new Tumuaki Tauamo (Associate Principal). Lisa brings a wealth of experience to the role, having served as Deputy Principal at Lynfield College for six years.

In keeping with our school values, Lisa was officially welcomed with a mihi whakatau alongside our new teaching staff for 2026. We also extended a warm welcome to our new international students joining us from Brazil and Japan. 

A special acknowledgement goes to the staff and students from Lynfield College who travelled to hand over their taonga to us. We will take great care of her! Welcome to the Aorere whānau!
