Home School Partnership-Janice Rocks on PhotoPeach
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

Salvation Army Emergency Supplies
We were thrilled to receive the most amazing emergency supplies through the generosity of The Salvation Army. Cam and Lee delivered hundreds of dollars worth of goods for us to store in the emergency bins. My sincere prayer is that we never have to use them. Leanne McDougall our SWiS worker contacted them on our behalf. Thanks everyone.
Coffee and Connections
School can be an intimidating place for new parents who don't know others in the community. Our volunteer parents do a wonderful job of linking newbies to others and getting them involved in the life of the school and the local community.
Last Friday's conversations were about School gardens, children's vege gardens and flower gardens.
