Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Welcome back to a new year in our lovely kura. Our goal is to be a locally based school that partners with and is supported by our local community. Everyone who knows us and the last 2 decades of the school's history remarks on the exceptional local community who are a central point for our development and growth. The community is changing in terms of housing and we are now part of the intensive housing projects that have developed across Christchurch City since 2011. We thrive on our close relationships with whanau and local organisations who want to be a part of our journey as a school. Generosity is the key word that we see in action every day to make life better for our tamariki. We do have high expectations for learning and behaviour. Our achievement data over the past few years has been amazing and this is a direct reflection on the relentless work of our kaiako to deliver great teaching programmes every day. Our teachers work closely together and they cross check planning and data. That's why we made it to the Gazette in 2024. We are child development/attachment based and our staff is well trained in how children's brains develop and how we can build amazing relationships with the children in our care. There's a lot of laughter and fun in the classrooms (and in our office with The Fab Five) every day . Please make a point of stopping for great coffee on Friday mornings and take the time to connect with other parents. Haere mai. Welcome to our little corner of paradise

New School Sign






























When I started here nearly two years ago the Board were very keen to re-brand and re-sign the school. It has taken a lot of discussion and negotiation along the way BUT this morning the first step in the re-signing/re branding process was taken when the new sign was erected at the front of the school today. If Duane, one of the Board Chairs had had his way it would have been finished before his eldest son enrolled here a year ago.
I must have looked a sight belting across the muddy field to take shots of the sign being cemented in place. I think that the guys from the sign company were deliberately pretending to offer up the sign just to make me rush out with the camera. Worth a laugh.
This is the first of the plans to re market our school with new logos, letterhead, motto etc.
As of today our school roll reached 190 so we are excited to be presenting our school as the school of choice in our local community.
Great marketing is one thing-we have the quality product to back it up.
We are here to make a positive difference for our families and our community. We're on our way. One small step at a time.The journey starts here...
