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

Middleton Grange Dance troupe and Disco

Thank you, thank you , thank you,  to the PTA who organized a fantastic lunchtime disco with all the trimmings on Friday. It was planned to coincide with our annual visit from the Middleton Grange Dance Troupe who dance for us then run workshops. It is  a fantastic event for our tamariki. Lunchtime there were balloons, sausage sizzle, iceblocks and much much more. What a brilliant end to our first week of term.

We have some wonderful dancers and it was such fun to watch them bust a move. Thanks Tam for your DJ work. Always rockin'
