Tēnā koutou, my name is Julia Blackburn, and I have been a Board member since September 2020.
I believe every child deserves equal access to a good education and is supported in the right way to get the best outcomes for them as an individual. I see the role of a Parent Trustee as an opportunity to help Melanie and her great team of teachers and support staff to continue to provide the best, safe, and happy learning environments for all our tamariki, regardless of their background, experience, or capability.
My husband and I live locally and have two children attending Lyall Bay School - Ollie is in year five and James is in year two. Our youngest, Emily will join in 2023. I work part-time as a Human Resources Manager and have a background in leadership development.

My name is Karl Emson and I am proud to be a Board member at Lyall Bay School. Our oldest daughter is in the Junior School. I want to support the school to ensure it provides the best educational opportunities for all akonga.
My wife and I are really happy with the support our daughter has had at Lyall Bay School and we intend to be active members of the school community. Our youngest daughter will be following her big sister to Lyall Bay in a few years' time so we expect to have a long association with the school.
I am currently a teacher and Assistant Principal at South Wellington Intermediate School. I am very aware of the opportunities that governance brings, the responsibilities of the Board of Trustees, and the difference the Board can make to the school. My experience as a teacher provides valuable insight into the school environment and I think I am well placed to support the principal and Board in a governance position.
