We are happy to introduce: Lesley Waite, our new Taruna Manager!
Lesley Waite has been appointed as Taruna Manager to succeed Roy Boonen. Roy Boonen has accepted the position of CEO at Prometheus Finance. Lesley takes up the position in January, at the start of the academic year.
“Lesley will be responsible for the consolidation and development of Taruna College’s curriculum, and the expansion of adult education courses,” explains Taruna Council chair, Michelle Vette.
“To this end, her work in the tertiary education sector, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and Rudolf Steiner Schools in Wellington and Christchurch, appears to have groomed Lesley perfectly for this important strategic position.”
“This is an especially exciting time for Taruna, as the College prepares to meet the contemporary needs and demands of the community it serves.” Taruna College’s academic standard and reputation in the core sectors of Agriculture, Education and Nursing attracts a student population from around the world! The Taruna College Trust and Taruna Council enthusiastically endorse Lesley’s appointment.
