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.

Pink Shirt Day

Pink Shirt Day We had almost 100% participation in this beautifully organised event. Thanks to Libby and her team. Our message is that the grown ups have to take responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of our tamariki and that to ask a child to stand up to a bully is Mission Impossible. Please let us know if you are aware of any bullying issues for your child; they are always there and thereabouts and generally rumble away underground and out of sight of the teachers. All children, staff and parents have the right to feel safe in our kura. We do have a Code of Conduct for parents and ask that you respect that. We expect you to treat us with respect and you can expect the same from us.
