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 Playground- Houston We Have Lift-Off!

Yes we are underway thanks to Huntley Quinn and his band of volunteers. We have been given around $80,000 in grants particularly from different Rotary groups in NZ. This is such a generous gesture and means so much to see a five year dream begin to take shape.


So many of our school parents and local community members especially the dads, are bringing their talents and expertise to this project. When a school is supported by generous people we see big dreams come to fruition. There are too many people to mention by name but please see your name in this thank you and know that we are so thrilled by what you are doing for the children in our school.
Empty ground and bog today but in a few weeks this will be a "blow your mind, knock your socks off, eyeball popping" playground
