At the start of the day, Shirley and Rochelle made sure we were awake.We are introducing Jump Jam to our students and we needed to learn the routines too. These two dressed for the part; not so the rest of us. However no-one can question our dedication to the task. At our school it is about Attitude, Adventure and Achievement. We expect our children to find learning fun and an ongoing adventure. If we expect them to do it, we expect to model it. I focused the filming on our leaders in the activity and was very glad I was behind the camera. I'm sure the neighbours wondered what was going on: Jump Jam in the mornings and then we were all singing very loudly to the karaoke version of the movie Mamma Mia on one of the evenings. Sad but true.Life is never boring when the West Spreydon School Team is around.
Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Tēnā koutou e te whanau. This is my 16th year as tumuaki of our lovely kura. I am one-eyed when it comes to providing the very best education for all of our tamariki, strong connections to whanau and applying attachment theory so every child has a champion adult at our school who believes in them unconditionally. I just can’t see past it. Our kaiako and kaiawhina go the extra 50 miles to give our children the best chances to succeed. My family is number one. After 20 years of camping holidays in Kaiteriteri, Graham and I are recidivist “glampers “ and ready for new adventures in our latest caravan. It’s brilliant when our family joins us too.
