6          Acknowledgements

 

Member Trenberth acknowledged:

 

Jane Tongatule

I would like to acknowledge Jane Tongatule who has retired from being the manager of the Greater East Tamaki Business Association (GETBA). Jane has worked well with the local board and has ensured that the Business Improvement District (BID) has functioned well. She has taken a keen interest in the Otara Waterways and Lake trust and has supported their projects in the GETBA area.  She will be missed as she has done an outstanding job in making GETBA one of the most successful BIDs in Auckland.

Papatoetoe West Primary School

I would like to acknowledge Papatoetoe West Primary school which received a green gold award at the Tāmaki Makaurau enviro-schools awards on Friday.  This is a great honour and reflects the hard work and commitment of the whole school towards sustainability in everything they do.

 

The Chair Lotu Fuli acknowledged:

David Riley

David Riley taught English at Tangaroa College for more than 3 decades. He was highly regarded and respected by his students and staff colleagues. David empowered our local youth through his nurturing and creative teaching skills. He was particularly good at encouraging students to become writers and storytellers. In the last few years, David has published several books so that our Maori and Pasifika youth could have books to read about their own heroes and heroines - books about people that looked like them. David is leaving teaching to dedicate his time to developing this passion and important work further. I congratulate and commend David for his many years of service to our tamariki and community. 

 

Deputy Chairperson A Choudhary returned to the meeting at 6.02 pm.
