Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Tēnā koutou e te whanau. This is my 17th 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 Psychology 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. I've had the privilege of being part of the design team so we could build a new school after the earthquakes and now we are full-on working with architects to design a new hall. That's a dream we never thought that we would see. Watch this space.

Pool Opening Miracle and School Hangi. This is the part when the Principal has a nervous breakdown. It's Johnny Cash time "and the flames grew higher."

 There are simply too many people to thank by name for the inspirational rebuild of our school pool. The gifts of time, money, expertise, machinery, materials, advice, chemicals and blood, sweat and tears has been incredible. Thank you West Spreydon School Community.





















This is when the Principal has a panic attack. It's Johnny Cash time "and the flames grew higher."


The man with the plan to feed 450 people. Thanks Bill. You are our treasure.
