Ata marie koutou,

I am delighted to announce that Jessica Ormsby will be starting with us on Monday in the fixed term role of Research Associate for the NZLPP funded project, He Kupenga Horopounamu where she will be working closely with Jemma and I.

Jessica comes to us most recently from a background working in Māori medium education. She is a former graduate of Hoaka Pounamu and most recently has been in role as the Deputy Principal of Tuahiwi school.

It is likely you will see Jess around in the next few weeks so please feel free to say hi, introduce yourself and make her feel welcome.
