Your children will probably know me better as Dr Tineke,as do a weekly school clinic. I grew up in Waihi and attendedWaihi EastSchool,and I am grateful that my children have the opportunity of attending a schoolwith passionateteaching staff,a commitment to seeall studentsachievingand celebratingsuccessacross all Ievels,and a strong community spirit. I have had the privilege of being on the Waihi EastBOT over the last 3 years and have held the Financeposition over this time. I feel fortunate to have been a part of a proactive and constructiveteam, and, I am extremely proud of our achievementsas a board, and the successesof our school during this time, including an excellentEROreport. I feel is important that we have continuity on the BOT,and I am keen to stay involved in the governanceof our School,and work alongsideour new Principal to achievethe vision we set our school.

Kia Ora, My name is Julie Mouat and I am interestedin re-applying for the position as a parent representativeon the Board of trustees. If you don't know me I am, and havebeen,a'Waihi'person for most of my life. I am marriedto Shanefrom Waihi Sports & Cycles, have2 children, one of which attendsWaihi East currently and will do for the next2 years.I have an educationbackground and this is one of the things that has helped me serve as a valued member of the current board. This is a position that requires someone who is committed to the well being of the school in the presentas well as in the future, someone who can be honest,trustworthy, reliable and also someonewho is open minded and approachable.I feel this has been evident in both my personal and professionallife and also proven in my position as a trustedboard mernber. It's not easy,I can assureyou, and I think that the board has worked well together (not an easyfeat with such a knowledgeable,strong minded not to mention good looking bunch) over the last 3 years which have made many important decisionsfrom the re-wiring of the school to the bike track vision to the most important, delicate and difficult task of selectingnot only new teachersbut a new principal to lead our school and for it to continue to strive for the better.All while up holding a high standardof integrity, respectand also taking into considerationpolicy and legislation aspectsof the job. Our last ERO report is a fine example of how well the school is doing and, in my opinion, consistencyis the key to make sureWaihi East School honours this and continuesto 'RiseAbove and Shine. I look forward to continuing to servethe school in this capacity and also as a parent who has the best interest of her child, other children and the school as a whole at heart. Thank you for your consideration.
