Key People
Parent Liaison
The Choir relies on a high level of parent involvement to support its various activities and performances during the year. The Board of Management is a parent elected group and meets once a month to oversee the running of the Choir.
In addition, parents of the boys assist on camps and tours, at performances and with fundraising, promotion, catering and carpooling.
Parent Liaison: Penny Tasi
Penny is a mum to three sons, the youngest of whom joined the choir at the start of 2024. When she’s not running her sons around to basketball, kickboxing, or choir, she juggles two jobs: one as a learning assistant at a school, and the other as an events coordinator and administrator at her church.
Penny volunteered to be part of the Auckland Boys’ Choir Board because she is keen to support the choir’s passion for choral singing and values the development of young boys in a fun and encouraging environment.
