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

Swimming Sports

 And we're off!

Gone are  the days when we had a slow lead up to the start of the year. Holy Smoke we hit the swimming pool running and it was heartening to see the daily swim sessions paying off. It is always funny to see that the Swimming Sports Virus kicks in for a day and then children come back the next. Lot's of children feel anxious about all manner of things and we need to help to walk them through it. Our kaiako organise a wide variety of events from just getting into the water to 2 lengths of competitive events. We can do this. It was a lovely 2 days and once again we had the support of volunteers to help make the events possible, and wonderful support from whanau for the children.

Our Student Leaders were amazing and their manaaki for the younger children was a heartwarming example of caring and helping. Thanks team and thank you Megan, Charlotte and their sports team for the organisation.
