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.

Fono Hui Dinner

It's such a privilege to lead a school where teachers and parents get on so well. We had a number of parents and children come together to share kai and to talk about innovations and changes in the school. This time Angie set up an iPad booth, where parents and caregivers could record their ideas and opinions about our school.
It was lovely to have new parents there too.
Thank you for the lovely kai and great company.





Sarah is adding her opinions about the school on video.
