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.

Salvation Army Emergency Supplies







We were thrilled to receive the most amazing emergency supplies through the generosity of The Salvation Army. Cam and Lee delivered hundreds of dollars worth of goods for us to store in the emergency bins. My sincere prayer is that we never have to use them. Leanne McDougall our SWiS worker contacted them on our behalf. Thanks everyone.

Coffee and Connections

School can be an intimidating place for new parents who don't know others in the community. Our volunteer parents do a wonderful job of linking newbies to others and getting them involved in the life of the school and the local community.
Last Friday's conversations were about School gardens, children's vege gardens and flower gardens.




Thanks parents; you do a better job than I do. We do appreciate all you do to make this a better place.
