Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Welcome back to a new year in our lovely kura. Our goal is to be a locally based school that partners with and is supported by our local community. Everyone who knows us and the last 2 decades of the school's history remarks on the exceptional local community who are a central point for our development and growth. The community is changing in terms of housing and we are now part of the intensive housing projects that have developed across Christchurch City since 2011. We thrive on our close relationships with whanau and local organisations who want to be a part of our journey as a school. Generosity is the key word that we see in action every day to make life better for our tamariki. We do have high expectations for learning and behaviour. Our achievement data over the past few years has been amazing and this is a direct reflection on the relentless work of our kaiako to deliver great teaching programmes every day. Our teachers work closely together and they cross check planning and data. That's why we made it to the Gazette in 2024. We are child development/attachment based and our staff is well trained in how children's brains develop and how we can build amazing relationships with the children in our care. There's a lot of laughter and fun in the classrooms (and in our office with The Fab Five) every day . Please make a point of stopping for great coffee on Friday mornings and take the time to connect with other parents. Haere mai. Welcome to our little corner of paradise

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.
