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

School Leaders Games Afternoon














 Our school leaders planned and led a fun afternoon of games for the rest of the school. There was a lot of energy, laughter, collaboration and fun.

The leaders found out first hand how tricky it is to get children to listen to instructions and to follow through on them. It really is like herding cats. The afternoon ended with an ice cream each. A great way to end the afternoon.


We are so proud of our School Leaders. They have shown great perseverance and responsibility over this year. It is not easy being a leader and doubly difficult when you are a child. Libby and Charlotte have provided great leadership and mentoring to the tamariki and guided them through the decision making challenges.
Congratulations to all of our Te Ara Koropiko West Spreydon School Leaders for their mahi this year.
