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.

Year 3&4 Basketball Final

The competition was fierce. There were a few "Hail Marys" as fulltime approached but in the end we lost the final by 2 points.

It is always wonderful to see parents supporting their tamariki. Pioneer Stadium is a great venue and the high school refs do a splendid job of managing the games.  Special thanks to Dave Langrell who coaches and manages the team. It must be so frustrating to "shush" when the refs calls are not how you see them. 

Whaea Charlotte spends a great deal of time organising opportunities for our tamariki to be able to play and compete in sports teams and events, outside of school hours. I think our parents can appreciate how much time she gives to support the children, especially after a very busy day at work. 

Next year...
