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

Annual Cross Country














Thanks to Rochelle and her PE team we had another wonderful morning of competition.The teachers were in the school early to mark out the course and run through the morning's events. The wind was very chilly but the children's cheeks were rosy as they slogged around the course. It is a tough run and it was absolutely precious to see that everyone tried and that when the body and mind flagged, that our PALs and School Leaders stepped in to support and run with the children.
There is fierce competition too as there should be and  there were several very close races to the finish line.
The children compete in their house colours and there were many variations on a theme. At least we have stuck to the primary colours and they stand out against the environment. 
Congratulations everyone, especially the winners.
