 Debbie ClarkB.O.T. ChairpersonBoth of my daughers have now finished their education at Tirimoana School. Before our children began their education, my husband and I visited other local schools. We asked questions, looked at school environments and at how closely they reflected our views and family values. We had no hesitation in selecting Tirimoana as the school for our girls and have never regretted this decision. 
 Evi SinclairB.O.T. MemberMy children have both now completed their education at Tirimoana School I was born and educated in Germany and met my kiwi husband, Brett, while travelling in Australia. We have been living in Te Atatu since we arrived back in NZ in 1996. I trained as a nurse in German and work as a registered nurse at Auckland Hospital.
We joined Tirimoana in 2003 as a family and felt very much at home in this school. I helped in the classroom and with PMP, joined the PTA, ran the walking school bus and supported the school with fundraisers, sports days and sausage sizzles. I love giving my time back to our wonderful school in appreciation of what this school has done for my children.

I have two daughters. My eldest daughter has now moved on to Intermediate and my second daughter Emma is in Year 5 in 2012. Although she doesn't look anywhere near old enough, she's also a grandmother as her step-son has a young daughter. I work from home as a Technical Writer, something that's come in very useful in my work with the Board. I joined the BOT because she wants to ensure Tirimoana continues to provide the best education possible for the children at the school.

I have 2 children at Tirimoana Primary, Harrison is in Year 6 and Aidan is in Year 4. I also have 2 nieces at the school. I think Tirimoana is a great school and I am proud to say my children attend this school.
I have been a builder for over 20 years and a paid fire fighter now for 13 years. When I am not at the fire station or building I enjoy diving, fishing and anything else that involves the outdoors. In the winter I play masters rugby league.

My wife and I have 2 children and our son, Milan is in Year 6 in 2012. We actually live out of zone from Tirimoana but since our children were in kindergarten we knew what school we wanted our children to attend. Tirimoana represented values that we as family hold and upon researching the various schools in the area Tirimoana was the obvious choice.
I am Detective Sergeant in the Auckland City Police District and have worked for the NZ Police for 15 years. I am in charge of the Auckland City Child Exploitation Team where I investigate and seek to prevent the exploitation of children through the means of the internet.
I have a keen interest in sport and currently coach my son’s rugby team at Waitakere Rugby Club where we have a few Tirimoana boys in our team. I am also a keen fisherman and am always keen to escape to the harbour for a few hours and a few fish !
