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.

scooters, helmets, skateboards, music and chaos

We don't have the landscaping underway yet but the children have managed to negotiate a scooter track around the buildings. It is a genuine joy to hear the laughter and to see the children active, dancing, singing and having fun. In fact if you can't get a school scooter, or bring your own, you can run like the wind beside everyone else on wheels.

Healthy and active children who play, laugh and enjoy life at school, surrounded by adults who deeply care for them, a more likely to have a great self image and sound mental health. 

The key to a child's wellbeing is strong attachments to adults who love them and believe in them.
