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.

Congratulations to Denis and Janice Environment Warriors

 Congratulations to Janice and Denis who work way above the call of duty to manage the school environment. They have been recognised by The Christchurch City Council again this year.  I love the way that the gardens are growing and the plants are taking over the weeds. My favourite gardens are the fragrant garden by the Friendship Seat and the garden at the back of the admin block. Denis is working with the CCC to develop some wild flower plants around the school. If you walk around the city in Spring and Summer you will see how many wild flower gardens there are around the hospital and botanical gardens. They are self seeding and eventually they will crowd out the weeds.

Boh Denis and Janice did a “bah humbug” when I said that I wanted them to have a photo taken. I couldn't figure out whether that was humility or being curmudgeons!!
