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

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.




Nick in the state of the art Engine Room




Dad, Scott sets the standard.


Matt. The Champion amongst all the other champions.


The Honourable Minister Dr. Megan Woods. and Stacy from the Pool Committee.







Huntley's swimmers I think.



Our school staff serve the local community to say thank you.

Maybe Christie's first hangi?
