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

First Aid Training With Meditrain

On one of the coldest Saturday mornings we met at school to complete our first aid training together. Ged led the charge with lots of action stories of his time as a medic. We were keen to make sure that we could revive the mannequins even though they were freezing too.
Things have changed a little in the immediate response to an accident and injury. I had no idea that we didn't have to stop a head injury person from sleeping but that it was more important to take a baseline of responsiveness and then to rouse them every 15 minutes and note any changes.
Now CPR is 30 to 2 no matter who and it has to be faster than to the tune of "Staying Alive."
Once again we are up to speed with first response to an accident at school.
