Kelly Pender, Māori Caucus Liaison

Tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Mataatua raua ko Te Arawa toku waka
Ko Whakatōhea raua ko Te Arawa toku iwi
Ko Ngāi Tamahaua raua ko Ngāti Rangiwewehi toku hapu
No Tauranga toku kainga inaianei, engari
Ko Te Kuratini o Poike toku mahi
Ko Kelly Pender toku ingoa

As an adult educator, I’m proud of the teaching and learning journey I’ve experienced thus far and appreciative for the opportunity to be in a chapter in the lives of many students.  Teaching on the Cert4Fitness programme at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic is not only my profession but also a hobby that I am deeply motivated and passionate about. I am grateful to Ako for the opportunities and have enjoyed being able to give back wherever possible.
