Office Manager Appointment for 2026
10 Dec 2025

 

Kia ora koutou, Te Kura o Ōkahau whānau,

I’m pleased to announce that, following a lengthy process over the past month, I’ve appointed Lana Morrison to the Office Manager position at Warrington School for the start of next year.

Lana is a Warrington local who brings a lot of experience in administrative roles, from being a lead community coach for Netball South, a sports co-ordinator for a local High School, as well as experience in the social work space. She is currently working as a teacher's aide at a primary school in Dunedin.

She eagerly anticipates becoming a more involved part of our school community and connecting with our students and whānau.
