Our Values

Ako
Teachers as Learners.
Learners as Teachers.
The curriculum aims to develop innovation, inquiry and curiosity by thinking critically, creatively and reflectively. Whether we are students, teachers, staff, whanau, care-givers, etc

Kaitiakitanga
Guardianship of and respect for ourselves, each other and our environment.
We aim to teach our students to respect themselves, others and human rights. We want students to have a sense of equity through fairness and social justice.

Our curriculum will offer students the opportunities to reflect on the successes and errors of our forebears with a view to making good choices.

The curriculum offers all students a broad education that includes ecological and social sustainability andcare for the environment.

Whanaungatanga
School and community as one family.
Relationships at the heart of learning.
The curriculum embraces and is strengthened by our cultural diversity drawn from our different cultures, languages and heritages.

Building Partnerships. We plan to encourage our students to meet their obligations to society through community participation for the common good. We aim to involve students, their families, caregivers, and whanau in the fabric of school life – it takes a village to raise a child, and school needs to be a community hub.

We aim to develop values which involve being honest, responsible, accountable and acting ethically.

Through their learning experiences the students will learn about the values on which New Zealand’s cultural and institutional traditions are based.

Mahi
Striving for personal excellence in everything we do.
We have high expectations of our students as the curriculum supports and empowers all students to learn and achieve personal excellence, regardless of their individual circumstances by aiming high and by persevering in the face of difficulties.
