All pedagogy assumes an anthropology (Deane-Drummond, 2012; Norsworthy, 2021).
As humans are created in the image of God, Imago Dei, they are at their best when connected with God, others and creation.  This is explored through the values that underpin our professional codes and standards -
WHAKAMANA: empowering students to reach their full potential.
MANAAKITANGA: creating a welcoming, caring environment where there is respect and dignity.
PONO: Showing integrity by acting in ways that are fair, honest and just.
WHANAUNGATANGA: engaging in positive and collaborative relationships with our
learners, their families and whanau, our colleagues and the wider community.
