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.

Year 6 Grad 2021

 The year ended with our community unable to be with us for all of the special awards and celebrations that we would normally hold. Thank you to everyone who made the time to link in to the assemblies and watch their children. For many it was their child's last days with us and very difficult not to be able to say goodbye face to face. Many families have now moved on to the next school and I feel like there was no hand over or closure in the ways we would normally have operated. We couldn't hug you or give a final word or blessing. The Covid World is an odd one.

I've added a few photos that might jog your memory or give you some new memories.
