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.

Play based learning ABCD Time

The best part of my school life is being able to be with the teachers and children and to watch and listen. I usually learn so much about how children learn and what makes their wheels spin. The teachers do so much work behind the scenes and set up deep learning activities for the children that involve new learning, problem solving and collaboration. The conversations between children and the teachers are just lovely. Our teachers know how to capture the children's imagination and to open up new ideas for their learning.
