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.

Netball Final Game Year 3 and 4

The perk of the work is to be able to go to events with the children and parents. We have so many out of school hours events on the go, that it takes a bit of management and organisation to get there, but things are so worthwhile. It is gorgeous to see the children and their whanau support involved. For once the bitter wind was not whistling through Hagley Park. The rules and courts are modified so that the children can succeed. They still play your turn my turn and read each others cv's before they pass the ball, but their skills are growing and they are loving the chance to compete. Go West Spreydon and special thanks to the wonderful coach Julie Hughey and team supporters.
