Hi my name is Frank Coleman, I am the father of 4 adult children and grandfather to two children at Te Totara School for whom we have guardianship and day to day care. I have now retired after working in a variety of positions from telecommunications technician to pastoral care and from union organizer to bus and limousine driver. We spent 23 years in Brisbane Australia and returned to Hamilton to care for our grandsons now aged 7 and 8. We celebrated our 47th Wedding Anniversary this year with my wife Jocelyn who is Ngapuhi from Waimate North. I look forward to serving the Te Totara school community in my term as a Board of Trustees member.
