We want to develop the whole child at Whatawhata. This means we focus on all aspects of their development. Through their time at Whatawhata School, children grow academically, socially, physically and emotionally into proud, positive and participative members of their community and of society.  

We see values as a critical part of this and base learning around our six values of perseverance, curiosity, resilience, mana, respect and aroha.

We strive for all of our children to achieve to the best of their ability. We recognise every child is different and we cater approaches to student learning accordingly. Children are aware of the purposes of their learning, the progress they are making and their next steps for success.

We work hard to ensure that children learn the skills they need not only for today but for what their future may hold. Learning is deep, meaningful, challenging and enjoyable and this we believe, helps children develop a love of learning that will serve them through life.

We see our school as a vibrant community of people learning together. We make the most of opportunities to teach, learn from and support others in the school community. We want our children see see the role they play in making Whatawhata School a successful community through the care we have for each other.

We take pride in our school being a central part of our community. We welcome the community into school, seeing much value in the knowledge and skills of our elders. We also seek opportunities to help our wider community so that everyone may benefit from our efforts.
