Kia ora - I am Alison, a mum of 3 tamariki, 2 of whom had a great time at TIS, and one who is currently in year 8.
I have been a member of the TIS Board of Trustees since 2022, and have served as Presiding Member since February 2024. I enjoy giving back to a school that has provided (and still provides) so much for my whānau. It's a great way to gain a deeper understanding of how a school functions and to contribute to ensuring TIS operates effectively, both now and for ākonga in the future.  I have a background in business, people and financial management, so being on the Board allows me to use all of my skills in a different way to what I do in my paid employment. 
Aside from the Board, I am the General Manager at Willis Legal, and love walking up Sugar Loaf and supporting my kids play sport.

A dedicated parent and proud member of the Taradale Intermediate Board of Trustees. I bring a strong personal commitment to the success and well-being of all students and staff. I currently have a child attending the school and another joining from Taradale Primary next year. I have a vested interest in supporting learners at every stage of their education journey.

With a professional background in the Forestry and Manufacturing industries, I can offer valuable expertise in strategy, project management, budgeting, health and safety, environmental management, and marketing. These skills will contribute to helping provided effective governance and strategic planning of the school .

I am passionate about sport and education and am committed to working collaboratively with fellow trustees, staff, and the wider community to ensure Taradale Intermediate continues to be a high-achieving, inclusive, and supportive environment for every learner.
