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.

"I don't want any of your ghost chips!"

Schools without children, staff and whanau are like the Marie Celeste. It feels odd to be here with no noise, laughter, running and chatter. we miss everyone so much and cant wait to be back together with you.
My congratulations to all of our staff who have made the lockdown connection and learning fun and worthwhile. Our staff are exceptional and we are so proud of them and how they have gone out of their way to make this work for the children.
We miss you kids.
Bring on the school bell for us to reopen and be back.
I've been watching some of the antics that students have been up to, including pranking their teachers while they are on Zoom. I love it. Teachers need to be smarter than the average bear to outwit the children.

Come home soon to our empty, quiet nest. We miss you all.






















Lisa-Maree Nakon makes the staff goodies to help make the day go well. She includes lovely little notes and cheery greetings.

This baking is divine. Believe me. Thanks Lisa-Maree.
