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.

Recycle, Reuse

 When our beautiful school was rebuilt, the playground had to be moved and reconfigured. In the ensuing muddle several sections of the slide were left over. Yeah. Nah.

Never fear. Our wonderful tamariki can always find a use for something that can be rolled, pushed, tipped or tumbled. The skills of some of our children are sensational. They walk/run/ jump and turn on the top of the "barrels", to propel them along, often with a child inside the barrel for a free ride.
