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.

Favourite Book Character

 We held a book character day to help raise funds for our Friends and Whanau group. There were some wonderful imaginative costumes and staff and children had so much fun.

I think my teacher favourite was Whaea Natasha as Miss Trunchball. She was scary and I couldn't stop looking at her eyebrows. Secretly I hoped she had used permanent marker so that they wouldn't wash off. Whaea Marg was a road cone and had the nerve to bring a book to prove her point.

The Puna Pāhuri Team were The Incredibles. More like the Unbelievables. Thank you to everyone who made a wonderful effort to make this a special day.
