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.

with the wonderful commitment that you all have to one another and your fine leadership which 
is making positive impacts on maori and all students in your schools.
You are a star MAC model!

"Tena Koutou Katoa. Ka nui te mihi ki a Koutou. Thank you for the precious time I spent with you all as a group and also as individuals in your schools. I was so very impressed with what you are doing down there. I believe you could show the rest of the country a thing or two! Please take time to celebrate your achievements - changing school culture and practices is not easy but you have all made a commitment to this and the results are evident. It is a privilege to work with you all." Hoana
