“As a community we are deeply committed to the Principles, Strands, Goals, and Learning Outcomes of Te Whāriki, our national bi-cultural curriculum.”

Partnerships:

Whakawhanaungatanga is the essence of tamariki, whānau, Kaiako, and the local and wider community as we establish strong foundations for every culture.   

“Mā te pā harakeke te tamaiti e whakatipu” 

It takes a village to raise a child. 

Participation:

We are dedicated Kaiako, who, together with parents, whānau, and communities, will bring Te Whāriki (bi-lingual/bi-cultural curriculum) to life.

“He taonga te mokopuna, kia whangaia, kia tipu, kia rea.”

A child is a treasure, to be nurtured, to grow to flourish.

Protection:

We are committed to ensuring te reo Māori not only survives but thrives with tamariki, parents, and whānau. We aspire to weave our own local curriculum, taking into consideration the aspirations and learning priorities of hapū, iwi, and the community.   

“E hara taku toa I te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini.” 

I come not with my own strengths but bring with me the gifts, talents and strengths of my family, tribe and ancestors.
