You Go Bill.
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

The Ride-On-Mower, The Caretaker and the saga of the grass.
The morning before the world went mad, Bill our caretaker had the purchase of the school mower approved. It was such a return to normal to see him perched on the driver's seat last week. As my dad used to say,"Sitting up there like Jackie." I have no idea who Jackie is but dad mentioned him a lot. So here are the pics of Bill, mowing the lawns as and when needed. Over three years the mower will have paid for itself as we will not have to pay contractors fees and we can have the lawns mowed as often as we like or need.
This is the same Bill who on the day of Feb 22 and every other day since has worked tirelessly to restore our school. He also had a key role in keeping staff and children safe in the midst of fear and chaos. Bill is a treasure and we acknowledge his value to us and our school.
You Go Bill.
