To Care
Kia Manaaki

Caring is all about our community. In our community we support others and are supported by them



Our school is a family where we all learn together and look after each other

I am part of a community that cares for me and supports my learning

I care for and contribute to my community and environment

We understand and celebrate all cultures within our community

We all work to maintain our school’s unique character

To Achieve
Kia Whakatututkitanga

Achieving is all about my learning. My learning is the shared responsibility of myself, my teacher and my family

The teachers know me and understand me. We work together to make learning just right for me

I know what I am learning, how I am going and what I need to do next

My school gives me the tools and opportunities to learn in lots of different ways

I am successful, motivated and engaged

My family know how I am going and how they can help me in my learning


To Grow
Kia Whakatupu 

Growing is all about myself. It is about knowing who I am, what I can do and what I can be

I do my best to reach my own personal excellence

I am capable, curious and confident about what I know and what I need to know 

I show the values of respect, curiosity, aroha, perseverance, mana and resilience in everything I do 



Kia Manaaki, Kia Whakatupu, Kia Whakatutukitanga - To Care, To Grow, To Achieve
