Christine Routledge
Business Manager
I have been working as a School Administrator since 1989. I started by setting up a Financial Service Centre for West Auckland schools in 1989, moved to Auckland Grammar as the Accountant, spent a few years working in the Ministry of Education as the Auckland Regional Financial Advisor and then as part of the team that built Albany Senior High School. A very rewarding career!

Dorothy Wyatt
Library Manager
I have been a support staff worker at ASHS since 2010. I work mainly in the library assisting the Librarian, Sharon. I have a passion for creating displays that inspire life-long learning and an excitement for reading. I am also responsible for putting on the coffee in the staffroom first thing in the morning (a most important job) as well as maintaining the photocopiers, stationery supplies and resources for staff.

Jane Coenen
Database, Attendance Officer
Working in the wonderful world of education is both exhilarating, energetic and excellent. I have been lucky enough to be a part of ASHS as the Database Manager for 5 years now. Every day is different from the last one and I enjoy the challenge and brilliant team that I work alongside. ASHS is such a vibrant place with brilliant opportunities for both students and staff. For someone interested in the outdoors, sports, reading, crafts and competing in virtually anything…this is the place to be.
Jake Griffiths
Director of Sports
Sport has played a massive role in my life and through those experiences I have learnt a lot. I joined ASHS at the start of this year with the goal to grow the sports programme by eliminating barriers that our young people face. We are taking a holistic approach to the well-being of our student athletes and hope that they get the chance to develop in all areas of sport along the way. Personally I spend my spare time outdoors on the water, rowing, fishing, surfing and competing for Orewa surf life saving club.

Kim Kindley
Executive Manager
I think I have the best administration job in the whole of New Zealand - if not the world! I was one of the very privileged folk who got to help set ASHS up and I have loved the thrill of the rollercoaster ride that challenge offered. I have seen our school go from strength to strength as we continue to position ourselves as the school of choice for Albany. As the Executive Manager I get to work with the most amazing team of educators and administrators, who, like the students of ASHS, inspire me on a daily basis. My husband, Dave, is a teacher, we have a son in Perth and our daughter, her husband and our grandson live in Auckland. Outside of school you will find me on a stage acting, going ga-ga over my two Burmese cats, travelling NZ in our Motorhome, out fishing, cycling or working hard to win the title of ‘Best Nana in New Zealand’.

Sharon Jackson
Library support staff
My twenty plus year career in public libraries spanned many communities in Auckland from Onehunga to Avondale. The switch to school libraries in 2009 is one that I have never regretted. I love engaging and sharing with students and the school community, my passion for libraries, lifelong learning, and the enjoyment of reading for pleasure. My goal is for our students to have the tools and skills to be information literate and be effective information navigators.

Physical Activities Administrator
Having worked for many years as an event manager and supporting my own kids with sport, I took the opportunity to join the Sports Department at ASHS in 2021.
I believe that sport and physical activity is hugely important for young people and really enjoy supporting ASHS students in structured sport and active recreation pursuits.
