Board Members' Profiles 

Chair: Ronda Tokona

Ronda Tokona (Ngaiterangi, Ngati Porou, Te Arawa) brings considerable experience to her role on the LPHS Board of Trustees.  She is the current Board Chair, has been on the board for a number of years.  She is married to Walter and had two children, Reva and Joshua Grills, attend the school.  She is a Senior Solicitor at Business South Inc advising employers on their duties and obligations to employees, and the myriad of matters that arise in the workplace. She has had extensive governance experience locally and nationally sitting on Boards, Panels, and Councils, and she is very aware that the role of governance inevitably results in decisions being made that people may not agree on.  The key is that "we have a team of individuals that can robustly debate issues, listen to the views of others, and make decisions that show leadership, and integrity." She looks forward to providing further service to the Logan Park High School students, staff, and whanau.  

Staff Representative: Paul Fielding

Paul has been the Staff Representative on the LPHS Board of Trustees since 2016. As one of the longest serving current staff members, it would be an understatement to say that Paul loves the school and intimately understands its spirit and strengths.
