Kia Ora koutou katoa, ko Amberly toku ingoa. My name is Amberly and I am the Lead Advisor for the Feilding Attendance Service. Originally from Whakaoriori (Masterton) I have lived in Feilding for 8 years now with my 6 children.

I have been with the Attendance Service for 2 years and in that time I have thoroughly enjoyed the relationships I have built and the whānau I have been able to connect with and support.

Outside of work I enjoy many different aspects of performing from stand-up comedy and improv to theatre acting and also playing the bagpipes.

I have a great passion for supporting our young people to access quality education to set them up for the best possible future and will work alongside whānau to achieve this.

Kia Ora
My name is Ngaire and I was born and raised in Whanganui. I am now living in Manawatu with my 5 children.
Whilst I am a newcomer to the Feilding Attendance Service I have always been passionate about supporting children and families.

In my free time I love spending time with my children, as well as creating clothing prints and sewing childrens clothing.

My return to the workforce has come after taking time off to care for my child during their battle with cancer, which has given me a new perspective and appreciation for the little moments in life.

I look forward to working alongside whānau to support regular attendance.

Kia ora whanau, Ned Houkamau toku ingoa. I am proudly Māori from Ngati porou although I was born and raised in Brisbane Australia. After my wife and I had our tamariki we knew it was time to come home to Aotearoa.

I am from a butchery background having successfully run my own businesses in this field before coming to the decision that I wanted to make a difference and be a part of something meaningful, which has led me to this job.

I enjoy fitness training and have competed in strongman competitions, but I mostly enjoy spending quality time with my wife and 3 tamariki.

In my role as an Attendance Advisor for the Feilding Attendance Service I will be looking to encourage and help build confidence in our rangatahi while working alongside whānau for the greater good for our next generation.
