Josh Heke

Parent Representative

My name is Josh Heke. I’m a proud dad of two children at St Martins School and work as a firefighter.

I really value the strong sense of community at St Martins and the wonderful teachers who support our tamariki. Through my work and sporting background I’ve learnt the importance of teamwork, communication, accountability and working together towards a common goal. I enjoy being part of a team and bring a practical, down-to-earth approach to the Board, along with a willingness to listen, ask questions and consider different perspectives.

I’ve also started my own te reo Māori journey and am enjoying learning alongside my children. I’m keen to encourage the continued growth and use of te reo Māori and tikanga Māori within our school community.

Outside of work and family life, I enjoy sport and am a passionate Warriors supporter!

Ko te mea nui, I want to make a positive contribution to a school where all tamariki, teachers and whānau feel supported, included and can thrive.
