Tamariki will have opportunities to learn through responsive and reciprocal relationships with people places and things. Loving reciprocal relationships foster a sense of trust, warmth and security.

He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!

What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people! It is people!

Tamariki will know the value of their identity, language and culture. Equitable opportunities will recognise and enhance their mana.

Tamariki will engage and understand the cultural richness within the community that supports them. They will develop understanding of, and connection to, the diverse cultural narratives that enrich their lives.

Tū mai e moko. Te whakaata o ō mātua. Te moko o ō tīpuna. Stand strong, O moko.

The reflection of your parents. The blueprint of your ancestors.

Tamariki will be curious and confident, leading their own interests and learning through a play-based curriculum. Within this curriculum tamariki can try out ideas and develop working theories, in both familiar experiences and new opportunities.

Mā te rongo, ka mōhio, mā te mōhio, ka mārama, mā mārama, ka mātau, mā te mātau, ka ora

From listening comes knowledge, from knowledge comes understanding, from understanding comes wisdom, form wisdom comes well-being.
