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

Such Fun at the Basketball

Just as well I am not in the least bit competitive! Yeah right.
On Wednesday night Maata and I were at Pioneer Stadium to watch three of our basketball teams compete.
We played Sommerfield, Thorrington and Medbury and won all three matches. The matches were very exciting and I am thrilled with the level of skills that our children are developing. They have fantastic parent and teacher coaches who give up so much time to support them. Families bring the other siblings to support the children and grandparents are a regular feature.
Thank you to everyone. This really matters to children and it is lovely to see them flourish. West Spreydon School is a community based school where many of the whanau partner with us to offer rich experiences to our children.
Go West Spreydon.
