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

Teacher Planning Day for 2014

Nicky and Adam

Lucy Denne appointed for a year's fixed term teaching position at WSS.



Shirley Haynes and Rochelle Everest

Jude Lange has been appointed as permanent job share along with Rochelle Everest. They are an exceptional combination.

Nicky Ifield and Adam Gardiner-new teachers for 2014. Adam has been appointed to a permanent position.

Jared Fretwell and Angeline Malae-both appointed as permanent teachers at WSS.

Rather than close the school we put guest teachers in the school for a day so that we could plan together as a teaching team on 14 November. Believe it or not we were planning ahead for 2014. We will miss Donna. She goes with our love and blessings. We are looking forward to creating new memories and new leadership at our school over the next few years.
