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.

Healthy Heroes

This term we are part of a Rotary Project which is promoting Healthy Heroes. The children have wonderful incentives as they achieve the milestones in their homework.
Last week they were given a small gift each as they met the criteria of healthy eating, sleeping, exercise and completing  a service for someone else.
We are very grateful for the commitment of adults in our community who genuinely care about our children and who want to be involved in preparing them for life.
One of my Board Chairs Duane says often that the school is a vital part of the "village community" that works together to raise a child.
We can't always thank everyone who is part of our school village because there are so many of you. If you are one of those special people who are part of our school, quietly sacrificing time, products and skills to our school then  I thank you on behalf of all of us.
You have the ATTITUDE, ADVENTURE, ACHIEVEMENT living that we love.
