Hi, I’m Liam Smythe, and I have the privilege of serving as a student representative on the Ōtūmoetai College Board of Trustees. My role allows me to advocate for student interests, contribute to important discussions, and help shape policies that impact our school community.
Beyond my work on the Board, I have a strong passion for mechatronics engineering and electronics, always looking for ways to apply problem-solving and technical innovation to real-world challenges. I’ve also been actively involved in the technical side of live events at the Performing Arts Centre, managing lighting, sound, and IT support.
I believe in the importance of communication, leadership, and creating a positive environment where students feel heard and supported. Being part of the Board has given me valuable insight into decision-making processes and strengthened my commitment to making a meaningful difference at Ōtūmoetai College.
