“Ko te kai o te rangatira he kōrero, ko te tohu o te rangatira he manaaki”

Manaaki reminds us of our responsibilities to one another as well as our kaupapa. To reach out, seek and to care for those around us. To be inclusive and not exclusive in a tuakana and teina way or teina and tuakana way. Nurturing our kaupapa is just as important as nurturing one another withinour kura, whānau, iwi, hapū and wider community. Manaaki requires the highest standard of behaviour towards one another and the understanding that if we uphold and care for the mana of someone else's, that our own mana is uplifted and enhanced and remains intact. Manaaki is referred to within our whakatauākī (te whakaruruhau o te ora).


“Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini”

Whakamana is the sum of all our school values working together in collaborative way that upholds and ensures the wellness of ourselves, our whānau, our hapū, our iwi and wider community by embracing the four key areas to a  person's health, Te Taha Tinana, Te Taha Wairua, Te Taha Hinengaro me Te Taha Whānau. Whakamana in a simple way is Respect.



“Tiaki Taiao, Tiaki Tangata”

Tiaki means to protect, safeguard and care for not only ourselves, our whānau and wider community, but also our environment, te Taiao. It is our responsibility and obligation to safeguard our kaupapa and nurture it for the coming generations making sure it grows as our school grows. Our whakatauākī incorporates this concept (kia hora ai te whakaruruhau o te ora ki runga i te iwi) which allows us to use and development of tikanga to help us fulfill our roles and responsibilities as protectors and guardians of our kura and our kaupapa.

“Aroha tētahi ki tētahi”

Embracing, caring for one another, our kura and our kaupapa in the highest standard is our definition of Aroha. Aroha demands the highest standard of behaviour to ensure our students and whānau have the ability to express themselves. The exercise of aroha maintains the integrity of the individuals, whānau, iwi and wider community. In the end for us Aroha is summed up in this whakataukī “Aroha tētahi ki tētahi, Peace and love to everyone”.
