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.

Welcome Back to 2016

Yahoo We are back at school. The gardens look fantastic and the children and staff look even fantasticer!
We are following through with developmental theory and making sure that the parents and children are firmly attached to the teachers, and that the parents feel confident to leave their children in our care. I met one little five year old boy who was so keen to start. He looked me up and down and declared, " I'm starting school and I am here to learn."
