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.

Same Lovely Faces; New Lovely Spaces

 

It is very hard to compare what we used to have to what our school looks like now. Thank you to everyone who made the dream possible. Everywhere we go there are happy, busy, learning children and brilliant teachers and teacher assistants who make learning magic.




The best part of my job is to sit in a learning space and to watch and listen. Understanding how children learn is a mini miracle and when I see the hard work of the staff coming to life in the classrooms every day, I feel an incredible sense of pride and gratefulness. We want the children to experience the very best, and we do that on a daily basis. Thank you to all of the volunteers and helpers and for the parents who partner with us to make Te Ara Koropiko West Spreydon School one out of the box.
