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.

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...
