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.

Annual Cross Country














Thanks to Rochelle and her PE team we had another wonderful morning of competition.The teachers were in the school early to mark out the course and run through the morning's events. The wind was very chilly but the children's cheeks were rosy as they slogged around the course. It is a tough run and it was absolutely precious to see that everyone tried and that when the body and mind flagged, that our PALs and School Leaders stepped in to support and run with the children.
There is fierce competition too as there should be and  there were several very close races to the finish line.
The children compete in their house colours and there were many variations on a theme. At least we have stuck to the primary colours and they stand out against the environment. 
Congratulations everyone, especially the winners.
