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.

Leaders Games #2. Brilliant work.

 Libby and Charlotte to the pump again to help our school leaders to organize a fun afternoon of games and challenges for the children. I love the sounds of laughter and the looks of amazement on the young leaders faces as they try to get their instructions across to the children. Oh boy. They are so encouraging and positive in the face of impossible odds. Getting 5 year olds to understand the rules of a game is like getting world leaders to agree to a ceasefire. 

It was a really good afternoon and the leaders triumphed as always.
