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
