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.

Aimee McKenzie SWIS Extraordinaire

 Our SWIS is one of the kindest people I know. That seems to be the way with the people that we have working in our school. On the lunchtime and morning tea breaks, when she is here, her office is absolutely chockablock with children and she usually has another seven or eight outside playing games with her.

Thank you Amiee. As Tricia would’ve said you have a heart bigger than Buckingham Palace
