Sharlene Conning
Ko Sharlene Conning, te mātāmua a Ripeka (Peka) Waipara rāua ko James Conning, he tino hononga ki ngā taonga tuku iho o tōna whānau. I tipu ake ia i runga i te awe o ona koroua, a Kahui Pani Ria raua ko TeManawa-o-te-rangi Waipara, ka tino whakaute ia mo ona tikanga. He nui nga maharatanga o ana tamarikitanga i nga wheako i Ohako Marae, ina koa i muri i tana hokinga ki Turanga me te kura o Manutuke.
I runga i te toru tekau tau te roa o tana mahi i roto i te matauranga me te mahi hapori, kua whakatapua a Sharlene ki te mahi hapori me te whakawhanaketanga whaiaro. Kei te ahu whakamua tonu ia i ona pukenga, otira ki te kaihautu, kia pai ake tana mahi ki tana roopu me te hapori hei Kaitataki. Ko tana haerenga ngaio e whakaatu ana i tana pono ki te tautoko me te poipoi i te tipuranga o te hunga e noho tata ana ki a ia.
Hei kaitiaki mo tona marae, ko te aronga a Sharlene ki te pupuri i te mana me nga whakaakoranga a ona tupuna mo nga uri whakaheke. E kaha ana ia ki te pupuri i nga tikanga o te marae me te whakapumau i te whai take me te hihiko tonu mo te mokopuna. E arahina ana tana kaiarahi e nga uaratanga o te tapatahi, te kaha, me te aroha, e whakatinana ana i te wairua o tona whanau me o ratou taonga tuku iho.
