Our Values
Manaakitanga
Kaiako are intentional and purposeful in teaching tamariki to develop their emotional and social competence, fostering manaakitanga (respect, kindness, empathy) as they confidently engage in the learning environment with growing
independence.
Kotahitanga
By encouraging kotahitanga (collaboration and inclusion), tamariki learn the value of working together, building relationships, and communicating effectively, which enhances their ability to enjoy learning and playing alongside
others.
Mātauranga
Mātauranga (curiosity and wonder) is nurtured, inspiring tamariki to explore new ideas and engage with the world around them. The curriculum is designed to build strong foundational skills in oral language, literacy, and maths, ensuring the ongoing development of problem-solving, reasoning, innovation, creativity, and the ability to persist through challenges.
Kaitiakitanga
Tamariki are also guided by kaitiakitanga (responsibility), as they engage in meaningful experiences that prepare them for their transition to kura. Physical development is central to the design of our learning spaces, aimed at building strong learners who develop risk-taking and perseverance, preparing them for future challenges.
