Board Member - Paul O'Donovan

My name is Paul O’Donovan and I joined the Board at Banks Avenue School in June 2016. My wife, Karen and I have a son, Rylan who started at the school in January 2016 and we have a 3 year old daughter, Amelie, who we also hope to send here too – so you can say we are very early in our school journey. I moved over to New Zealand from the UK in August 2010 and have never looked back. As a family we enjoy a fantastic life here and I feel deeply connected with Christchurch having gone through everything the earthquakes could throw at us. 
I joined the Board because I wanted to contribute what I can in what is a vital time for the school. There will be some big challenges ahead for us as a Board but also much to look forward to. I am excited to work with the Board and learn more about the school over the 

coming years. I really believe that the direction the school is going is the correct one and if I can add value to further improve the school then I will be happy.  
 
I often do the school drop off so if you see me please come and say hi.
