Board Member - Glenn Bongartz
|
My partner Variny and I have Douglas an 8 year old, who is a year 3 pupil at Banks Avenue School, and Walter a 4 year old, so I am at Banks Avenue School for a few years yet.
I am currently the Club Captain and serve on the Board at the Christchurch Golf Club, we have just completed a rebuild of our Club House. I serve on the committee of the Educational Child Care Centre, where we have also just achieved a full rebuild of our preschool, so I am very much part of the rebuild of our community. |
When on a board I try to take all personal agendas and personality differences off the table to solve each problem in a clear and logical way that makes the organisation a better place for current and future stakeholders.
Being newish to the school and the Board I come with no preconceived ideas about the school, staff or pupils and will approach my time on the Board with a fresh perspective.
My business background ranges from a Auctioneer at Turners Auctions to Marketing Manager at Canterbury Cricket and running my own small car and campervan rental business. I now devote my time to looking after our 2 children and sorting out our house rebuild. I have also launched a couple of Apps, one for Facebook, called www.borrowforacoldone.com and My animal puzzle which is a children’s education puzzle app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.co.wetstone.animalpuzzle. I also created an information website called www.newzealandatoz.com
I enjoy working with our board, new principal and management team in an exciting time in the history of Banks Avenue School.
We all have to give back at some stage to help our community be a better place.
