Damien Hollands

Ko Damien Hollands toku ingoa.

 I am the Deputy Principal of Karamū High School, located in Heretaunga ( Hastings), serving the Te Matau-a-Maui region as the chair of the Hawke’s Bay Deputy and Assistant Principals Association.

My teaching and leadership chapter was a delayed start, and I have enjoyed the challenges and rewards. Originally from the Coromandel, specifically Whangamata, then education in Suva, Fiji, concluding at Tauranga Boys, followed by Architecture school at Victoria University and a 10-year stint in the UK working in Film and Television, my journey has brought me to the Bay to Teaching and Leadership.

 My background is firmly rooted in the Arts and technology as well as coaching Volleyball and basketball. I am privileged to be part of this team and the mahi to support all Tumuaki tuarua across Aotearoa.
