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.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi School Board training

 Jodi Apiata issued some challenges for us as a board to investigate together. We had a great Saturday afternoon looking at the Articles of the treaty and pre reading a couple of articles that make us think about conscious and unconscious bias. This is such a healthy activity as we talked through historical events and came to a rude awakening that even some recent legislation and political voices had little reference to the Treaty of Waitangi. It's always good to take time to rethink and change the course of our waka.
