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.

New Entrant Cooking

Today was rhubarb crumble cooking day for the new entrant children. I got a taster too. Yeah me. The rhubarb is from our school garden and cooked with sugar and love by Janice Krammer the children's teacher.

 




Risingholme Community Orchestra

We were so fortunate to have the Risingholme Community Orchestra perform for us.
For many children it was their first introduction to classical music and to the musical instruments that make those distinct sounds.
It was thinking time for all children as they tried to locate the melody and recognise the instruments that were playing the repeated them.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to perform for us.







 It was real life music in our living room!
