Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Tēnā koutou e te whanau. This is my 17th 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 Psychology 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've had the privilege of being part of the design team so we could build a new school after the earthquakes and now we are full-on working with architects to design a new hall. That's a dream we never thought that we would see. Watch this space.

Building Mathematical Capabilities

 For the past 18 months we have been working with Rob Profitt-White on the  "know, understand , do" aspects of the revised curriculum as this relates to mathematics.

The tamariki love the challenges and problem solving activities through MoveNProve, RecallNReason, DiscussNDefend, OpenUp, TwoTruthsNOneLie.

Over the next few weeks parents are invited to come in and observe and play the games to test their mathematical flexibility. Some games are a lot harder than you would think.

As the children say over the school p.a. system "All ages welcome. See you there."
