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

Quake Break


Several of our lovely students were selected for a fully sponsored holiday to Auckland or Great Barrier Island as a break away from Christchurch in the July Holidays.
Special thanks to Bridgit Veenings, Amanda Tointon and Al Hawkins who made the applications for the children to attend this amazing holiday, all expenses paid. Thanks too to the organization that provided this for our children. You will probably never know the real effect this has had on our children and the ways in which it has made a difference.
The pre-event excitement was wonderful to watch.
One of the boys has come back buzzing after his first plane trip. He was so thrilled that they"landed in Australia" on the way to Auckland.
 I think I would be too.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Kia ora te whanau.
