My name is Melissa McFarlane. My husband Ben and I relocated to Wanaka from Dunedin in 2008. We have three young daughters – Isabella and Madeline currently attend Wanaka Primary, and Penelope attends a local daycare centre. I am excited to be a part of the Wanaka Primary School community, and as a parent I have a vested interest in the school and its students. I believe in the importance of children having the right environment and opportunities provided to them, to enable them to become the best version of themselves. I am a Director at Fyfe Karamaena Law in Wanaka, and outside of work I like to run and keep fit and I play social netball in the winter months. As a family we love to travel and do a range of sport and outdoor activities together. We always encourage our daughters to give things a go, as a way to discover their own strengths and find what they really enjoy.
