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

Student Leaders' Breakfast

Our teachers decided to say thank you to the Student Leaders by cooking them a special breakfast. There were fresh waffles, bananas, peaches, bacon, yoghurt and maple syrup. The children drank hot chocolate and we settled for a cuppa.
Student Leaders have a lot to learn about responsible leadership and it is never easy. Our children have taken the learning on Board and are growing into the role. They are lovely children who try to take the role seriously. Thanks kids.

Green Screen ICT extension group

David Duckworth from Stoic Films has been working with our children to provide  ICT experiences very similar to those at Capital E. They get to use cameras, screens and auto cues so they can make their own news and weather programmes.
He is so patient with the children and gives lots of challenges and directions for great camera angles, the rostrum camera and editing.
This is a very generous use of his time and talent.
Our children do get exceptional learning opportunities.
