Kia ora. My name is Jono Hay and my role is Deputy Principal at Ashburton College. Prior to this I was a Head of Faculty – Science. As a passionate advocate for education, I see NetNZ offering huge value for all of our kura now and into the future as a leading light in the effective implementation of e-learning. I wish to join the Board of NetNZ to support and advocate for this important mahi in a rapidly changing educational landscape.

I would bring to the role governance experience from the education and health sectors including seven years on school Boards of trustees (primary and secondary) and two years as a director of the Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service.

I have an interest in future focused education and using digital technologies to support schools in meeting the needs of all of their diverse learners.

Areas of strength developed in previous roles within schools and the Hakatere kāhui ako include strategic planning, communications, evaluation, cultural capability, employment and financial stewardship. Ngā mihi maioha.
