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.

School Leaders Games Afternoon

 

The Student Leader’s Day was brilliant in the week before Easter and once again Whaea Libby

and Whaea Charlotte were wonderful mentors and coaches for the children.

Our older tamaiti spontaneously click into tuakana teina mode and take care of the younger

tamariki. They coach and encouraged them, and often stop what they are doing to make sure that

the littlies are being supported. It really is Triple As in action.

Our children live the values and it comes from within them because our kaiawhina

set high standards for support and caring and it's just part of who we are.

Several of us were talking about the kindness and caring of our children towards others.

This is part of what makes us a great place to be.
