My name is Grayson Marsh, and welcome to Te Kura o Sanson. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead filled with learning, growth and fun adventures. Please feel free to pop in and see us anytime. 

I am extremely excited about taking on the role of Principal of Sanson School, and the opportunity to contribute my skills, experiences, and dedication to the school and community. I am thrilled to be part of such a vibrant and supportive community, and can not wait to be working with you all. Our dedicated staff is ready to inspire and guide our students to achieve their full potential. Whether you're a returning family or new to Sanson, we are delighted to have you as part of our school family.

We believe that learning should be engaging and enjoyable, and we are committed to creating a positive and inclusive environment where every student feels valued. Together, let's make this school year memorable and successful for each and every student.

A little bit about me; My wife Felicity, is also a kaiako, currently working at Colyton as a year 4/5 teacher. My three children; Flynn, Darcy, and Arlo keep me not only on my toes, but also keep me grounded  to the things that are important. Together we value the meaning of hard work, and a life filled with fun, laughter and learning. I have been a teacher for 8 years, and love every minute being inside the classroom. In my life before becoming an educator, I worked in the extremely busy and demanding television industry in Australia. As a technical engineer across all working productions, this role sparked my love for technologies, and giving me the drive to never stop learning new things. 

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Our doors are always open, and we value your input. Have a look around our newly designed website as we add more information from the beginning of the year.

Here's to a fantastic school year ahead!

Ngā mihi, 

Grayson Marsh
