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.

Painted hall and Christmas parade
























Over the past weeks we have had our lovely community repainting the hall which was a drab and unwelcoming building. So much volunteer work has gone in to making this old girl habitable and smelling clean again. We live in hopes that one day the real gymnasium will be built and we will have all year round top rate facilities for our children.


Our friends and whanau group held a Christmas themed non uniform day to raise items  for a Christmas hamper raffle. It was hilarious to see the children and staff get into the spirit of the day. I think Matua Isaac looked a little dodgy but we love him anyway.
