Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Tēnā koutou e te whanau. This is my 17th 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 Psychology 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. I've had the privilege of being part of the design team so we could build a new school after the earthquakes and now we are full-on working with architects to design a new hall. That's a dream we never thought that we would see. Watch this space.

Children's Garden Show at The Horticultural Centre





















The children's gardens have been created with the assistance of Trish Harrison and Cath Pratten. The theme was reuse and recycle. Maata added her Pinterest  treasures and the children made wind chimes from old keys and garden implements. She also sourced old teapots for the bird feeder. Everything in the garden is either pre-loved or recycled to a new purpose. The children and parents have had an opportunity to flourish alongside the plants. I am astounded by the levels of creativity and magic. West Spreydon School community really does mean just that. Thank you to everyone who created living magic with the children. You have my gold medal.
