Cilla Scott

Principal

I have the best job of all, overseeing the operations of our kura to ensure that our tamariki receive optimal teaching and learning opportunities. I am incredibly grateful to our Board members. As you can see, they are from a wide range of backgrounds, and bring to us a high level of expertise, experience and energy. They are highly motivated to grow our kura into the best it can possibly be, and make considered decisions to allocate our resources carefully. I am now into my second year as the tumuaki of Te Kura ō Ōwhiro, and guarantee that what we have here is a very special and caring community, an invigorating and inspiring environment and a dedicated, highly skilled staff. As a resident of the South Coast, I cherish the richness of this region and recognise how by being here, our tamariki develop a deep respect for the environment and for the stories of those who live here now, and those who have gone before them.
