Whānau Time Message:
Each fortnight we come together as a school to enjoy time together as a school family, celebrate learning and build and celebrate the special culture that makes us who we are.
Our overarching theme for this year has been to revisit, review, refine and celebrate the individual components that comprise our school culture, philosophy and way of learning, growing and being.
We have been focusing on one aspect per fortnight, every Monday Morning as a staff, and every second Friday as a full school at Whānau Time.
The Sequence We Are Following Is:
Our Vision - Ā Tātou Tamariki, Ō Tātou Whenua, Ka Ora Te Apōpō
- Our Children, Our Land, For Our Future
Our Mission - Love to Learn to Lead
which we expand to - We Love to Learn,
So We Can Learn to Lead,
So We Can Lead With Love
Our Whakatauki - Toitū te Marae a Tane-Mahuta
Toitū te Marae a Tangaroa
Toitū te Tangata
Flowing through these is the message of HOPE
We focused on three meanings for HOPE that connect to the elements above:
HOPE - Help One Person Everyday
- Help Our Planet Everyday
- Help Our Pacific Everyday
