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

ERO Report

Our review was in July. It was a rigorous and very helpful process. The fantastic result is a wonderful report which reflects 5 years of dedication and hard work on the part of the board, staff, parents and community. We have also had excellent advice from Ministry of Education, advisers and quality input from well chosen professional learning.

The majority of schools in New Zealand are reviewed within 3 years. This is a mark of schools that are doing a good solid job.

Our next review will be in 4-5 years. This is a reflection of a high performing school and means that we are in the top bracket of schools in New Zealand.
Does this matter? By golly yes. We have had huge changes in our school and many demands placed upon us through legislation. We have kept up and surpassed the average.
Will we sit back and relax? Not likely.

Thank you to everyone who has worked alongside us to make our school a cut above.
We are so proud of our progress and keen to keep making a difference for our children.
