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.

And We're Off. The new year has begun.

We are on the countdown on our borrowed site. We are going home and we'll reopen at home on March 30. It made such a difference to have the children back at the start of the year. The sounds of laughter and the warm greetings fill our buckets. We  love the hugs and hellos.  Schools are like ghost towns without the children. Our staff are training in Attachment theory again this year, so we are setting the scene for inclusion and understanding so that every child has the opportunity to flourish at Te Ara Koropiko West Spreydon. Happy learning with us for 2021.
