Values
At the core of our values are ‘whanaungatanga’ and ‘identity’.
The foundation of our identity comes from who we come from.
Relationship, kinship, sense of family connection – a relationship through shared experiences and working together which provides people with a sense of belonging.
Mana
A ‘sense of pride’ is developed through your positive relationships and actions with others.
Commitment – Manawa Rahi
The quality of being dedicated to something – a task, a team, a goal…
Creativity – Auahatanga
The act of using original and imaginative ideas to create something, approach something differently or solve a problem – ‘thinking outside of the box.
Excellence – Eke Kairangi
The quality of being truly the best at something!
Resilience – Manawaroa
The ability to cope or recover from difficult situations.
At the core of these values are ‘whanaungatanga’ and ‘tūranga waewae’. We believe strongly that the foundation of our identity comes from who we come from. We acknowledge that every child brings with them, first and foremost, their own ‘identity’ to be treasured and nurtured for their own well-being.
We see ‘whanaungatanga’ as a sense of family connection – a basis for working together which provides people with a sense of belonging. We want our students to be proud of their school and feel a real sense of belonging.
