Barry Brown - Principal For A Day
An annual event organised by COMET (a charitable trust
established by Manukau City Council), Barry Brown, a prized
Director of Fraser Thomas, was amongst other business and
community leaders to be placed inside a school to be
"Principal for a Day" (PFAD).
Having a strong interest in the local community and it's
influence on the younger generations, Mr Brown was delighted
to attend Wakaaranga
Primary in Farm Cove, Manukau and experience a behing-the-scenes
view of a principal's work. Principal Brent Jenkin was
quoted as saying:
"Principal for a Day, with Barry Brown from Fraser
thomas Ltd, was an excellent opportunity to showcase our
school and how we work. Barry ahs a real interest in
schools and was able to focus on areas of relevance.
He shared with us his fundraising expertise with Charitable
Trusts, invaluable"
Feeling passionate about the future of our New Zealand
children, Mr Brown was excited to have the opportunity to
personally spend time within Wakaaranga
Primary School. He found the encounter mutually
beneficial to both himself and the school, appreciating what
a unique experience has been made available to him. Mr
Brown feels strongly that schools and the business community
should work together to guide our education system towards
tailoring a positive environment for children to learn and
to strive, while discovering what options are available to
them in the future.
