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.

We're Back. It's a temporary site, but we'll make it feel like home.

Jared, Marina and I did the royal tour of the school just to check in on everyone and to put faces to names. It was a pleasure to see all the little faces, hear the happy chatter and watch the teachers and support staff gather the children under their wings. It has been a tough ride for staff to pack and unpack and to get ready for a new year in a strange place. I am the one doing the whining and complaining and the staff  have been so positive and smiley. Maybe I need to rethink my attitude!!!
