Hi my name is Patrice and I am married to Brian and have two children, Emma who currently attends Morrinsville Intermediate and Alla who is at David Street Primary School.

We live in Morrinsville and I work in Hamilton for Fonterra as the director of Global Business Services, which provides Finance, HR and some Procurement Services to Fonterra globally from Hamilton and also more recently Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

I was co-opted onto the Morrinsville Intermediate Board of Trustees last year before being elected this year. I was previously Chairperson of the David Street Board of Trustees for 6 years. I enjoy being able to utilise my business skills for the benefit of the school, and find it is a great way to know more about what is happening at school.

Morrinsville Intermediate is a great school and I look forward to a continued involvement with the school over the coming years as both girls attend as pupils.
