Chris Butler

Bishop's Representative

My name is Chris Butler.

I am a third term board member and Bishop’s Representative on the Board of Trustees. Over this time I have sat on both the school property and Catholic character committees. I am a former pupil of St Mary's Primary School, Papakura; an active member of the local parish; and a parent to three children who have attended the school – one of whom is currently enrolled in year 4.

I am an urban designer by profession with master’s degrees in both town planning and urban design. For the past 18 years I have worked across both the public and private sectors specialising in master planning, structure planning, design review /guidance, and designing for safer environments. I am currently a team leader of urban design at Auckland Council.

Outside of my job, I also serve as Chairman and Vice President of Ardmore Marist Rugby Club.
