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.

First Aid Training

 First Aid Training 


Six hours of training after school for those of us who are revalidating certificates and eight hours for the newbies. There’s always something new to learn. Our staff have to make quick decisions without the benefit of a medical degree or x-ray machine. It would be nice to have a CT scanner in the sick bay. Our tamariki get wonderful care from our staff who are often under pressure with incidents coming at them from all directions.

Whaea Libby’s baby Fergus, is in good hands. His mamma is ready for anything. Our trainer Jason has been a paramedic in New York (a fabulous city) and in Afghanistan.
