He aha te mea nui o te ao?  He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.”

What is the most important thing in the world.  It is people, it is people, it is people. 

 

Ko Manaia te maunga

Ko Terenga Paraoa te moana

Ko Takahiwai te whenua

Ko Rangiora te marae

Ko Wiki-te-Pirihi te tangata 

He uri tuawhitu ahau no tēnei rangatira

Ko Francina Linton (nee Marsh) tōku ingoa

Kei te noho ahau i Ruakaka

I am honoured to be joining the Bream Bay Trust Board this year and look forward to serving our local community with pride and commitment to the people of this beautiful rohe. I am a descendant of Patuharakeke – Takahiwai and Ngāpuhi.

​

I currently teach at Bream Bay College. Prior to joining the Trust Board, I served for three terms on the Board of Trustees at One Tree Point (Te Ara Kāhika) kura and I also hold the role of Vice Secretary for the Bream Bay Swim Club.
