Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Welcome back to a new year in our lovely kura. Our goal is to be a locally based school that partners with and is supported by our local community. Everyone who knows us and the last 2 decades of the school's history remarks on the exceptional local community who are a central point for our development and growth. The community is changing in terms of housing and we are now part of the intensive housing projects that have developed across Christchurch City since 2011. We thrive on our close relationships with whanau and local organisations who want to be a part of our journey as a school. Generosity is the key word that we see in action every day to make life better for our tamariki. We do have high expectations for learning and behaviour. Our achievement data over the past few years has been amazing and this is a direct reflection on the relentless work of our kaiako to deliver great teaching programmes every day. Our teachers work closely together and they cross check planning and data. That's why we made it to the Gazette in 2024. We are child development/attachment based and our staff is well trained in how children's brains develop and how we can build amazing relationships with the children in our care. There's a lot of laughter and fun in the classrooms (and in our office with The Fab Five) every day . Please make a point of stopping for great coffee on Friday mornings and take the time to connect with other parents. Haere mai. Welcome to our little corner of paradise

2022 Is Here

 We had a couple of work focused and fun days together as a staff before all of the children returned to school. We had to play some of the games we were going to be teaching the children  and learn some new skills. I had a hard job keeping them out of the sandpit and off the bike track.

The joy on the children's faces when they saw the parts of the landscaping that were open for them, was terrific to see. One of our school values is Adventure and we have thought long and hard about how we can make school a wonderful place for all children to enjoy and want to learn. It has taken a huge amount of planning and saving to get to this point and we are so proud of what we have achieved for the children. Dreams are possible. Thank you to everyone who has partnered with us to make this happen.
