About Us

The Foundation Team

Chris Hedley- Trustee, Chairperson

I have lived in Waiuku for 15 years and was previously on the Sandspit Road School Board (2015-2021), including Chair from 2018. My wife’s family have been in the local community for over a century. My work includes financial advisory, governance and investment advisory, skills I apply to community involvement. We have two children currently at Waiuku College, and one more starting soon.

As part of the Waiuku College Foundation, I am motivated to provide students opportunities in activities that give enjoyment, enable development and generate a sense of pride - opportunities I had at Rotorua Boys’ High School.

Brian Perry- Trustee, Treasurer

I am the Business Manager at Waiuku College and have had three children through our school. I am excited to be on the foundation to create opportunities for our students.

In my spare time, I like following sport, and spending time with my family.

Tineke Dippenaar

Tineke Dippenaar, Foundation Trustee

I have lived in Waiuku for the last fifteen years and have been involved in the community as a primary teacher and mother of three children who completed their college education at Waiuku College. I enjoy spending time with my children, watching sports and travelling.

The Foundation provides an opportunity to support our young people in giving things a go and extending their learning beyond the classroom.

Claire Joyce, Deputy Principal Waiuku College, Foundation Trustee & Administration

I am the Deputy Principal at Waiuku College and a strong advocate for inclusive, student-centred education. As a parent of a former student, I bring a personal connection to this role. My eldest child was Head Boy and now studies at the University of Waikato. This journey reinforces my belief that every student can succeed with the right support and opportunities, and I am excited to support students and their futures through the Waiuku College Foundation.
