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

Addington Cup Day Staff Breakfast

In the midst of a busy term it is important that we take the time to have some fun. It sure was fun. Grown-ups love playing dress-ups.
The shoes, "frocks", gloves, fascinators and hats created the illusion of a day off at the famous local derby.
The breakfast was even better with an array of strawberries, bananas, waffles, bacon, maple syrup, coffee and tea.
I'm going to be doing surprise visits to the classrooms today as I suspect that the teachers will be fast asleep, tucked in under their desks after that big feed.

Angie's fascinator

Food glorious food


Let happiness reign

Fascinating fascinators


All dressed up and nowhere to go.



There is something odd about this photo.


Adam was told to look smouldering. Yeah right.
