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.

Christchurch City Council SwimSmart Instructors Join Our WSS Team

It was worth burning my bare feet on the concrete to watch the progress the children are making with the help of the experts. It is scary to realize that many of our children could not survive if they fell into deep water. We take it for granted that our kids can swim. You would be shocked by how many cannot stay afloat long enough to get to the side and safety.
On the other hand I have watched some children improve their swim strokes and power through the water with their instructors advice ringing in their ears.


















Parents we have a responsibility together to ensure that our children can swim. WSS is doing its part to ensure our students are safe and can have fun in the water.
