HE POROPOROAKI AROHA KI A ELLE FREESTONE - a heartfelt farewell to Elle Freestone

We would to acknowledge and celebrate the immense contribution of Elle Freestone, as we farewell her from her role at Ōtorohanga Employment Hub.

Over the past four years, Elle has shown remarkable passion, expertise and grit - supporting more than 400 people into employment, apprenticeships and deep personal discovery through Outward Bound. Her dedication has changed lives and strengthened pathways for rangatahi and adults across our district.

Elle has built powerful relationships with our community, local businesses and whānau - demonstrating that employment support delivered locally, with heart and connection, is what truly works. Her mahi has left a legacy rooted in people, place and opportunity.

Her impact will continue to be felt for many years to come.

Ngā mihi mahana for all you have achieved Elle. Thank you for lifting and empowering so many.

Mā te wā.
