Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Tēnā koutou e te whanau. This is my 16th year as tumuaki of our lovely kura. I am one-eyed when it comes to providing the very best education for all of our tamariki, strong connections to whanau and applying attachment theory so every child has a champion adult at our school who believes in them unconditionally. I just can’t see past it. Our kaiako and kaiawhina go the extra 50 miles to give our children the best chances to succeed. My family is number one. After 20 years of camping holidays in Kaiteriteri, Graham and I are recidivist “glampers “ and ready for new adventures in our latest caravan. It’s brilliant when our family joins us too.

November Fono and Hui

What a great evening. We had just over 50 present including children. There was lots of chatter and laughter and people getting to know people. Our teachers acted as note takers as we asked our whanau several questions about their children and how well, or not, our school addresses the learning needs.
Parents were honest and helpful.
The food was gorgeous.
During the evening Maata shared the comparative achievement data  and I listened to lots of, "oohs, mmmm, goodness mes and that's greats."  Our Pasifika and Maori children do well. There is still a lot of room for improvement and as a teaching team we want to know how we can make that improvement for our children.
Thank you to everyone who came along.
