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

John Allen, Friend of West Spreydon School

On February 22 one of our local businesses had a big shake down and stock fell off the shelves.Elvis Presley really could have sung, "I'm All Shook Up."
John Allen called in to see me and offered us all of the stock that they could no longer sell in the shop at the Shell Garage.
Our PTA has taken charge of  more than $2,000 of chocolate bars and  soft drinks.
They are sorting Easter raffles and goodies to sell.
On Saturday 16 April Volleyball NZ is sponsoring a huge community volley ball tournament with entertainment and a D.J. This has been organized through one of our parents, Dr Warren Smith. A good man if there ever was one and of course there was.
At that event the PTA will hold a sausage sizzle and by golly there will be some chocolate bargains.
We are very thankful for friends of our school who have thought of us and wanted to help our students.
































John Allen take a bow (and I know your daughter spent hours sorting and packing the goods for us). You are a local hero. I know your wife had a role in this and we feel very privileged to have received so much from you.
