It is surprisingly difficult to bid senior students goodbye as they move on to intermediate. Many of these gorgeous children have been with us since they were pre-schoolers and came to school in their prams with older siblings. We will miss them. I am very proud of them and the ways in which our staff loved them and cared for them, Once you are a part of the Te Ara Koropiko West Spreydon School whanau, you are always a part of us.

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.
