OUR FOUNDATION OUR HOME
TŪRANGAWAEWAE
Our natural, farm environment provides an ever changing, diverse back drop with equitable opportunities for each child to freely explore, enquire and engage purposefully within their wider world.
​
Turangawaewae are places we feel connected, where we belong; where we feel especially empowered and where we feel safe.
They are our foundation, our place in the world, our home.
OUR COMMUNITY
KAITIAKITANGA
A child is a treasure, to be nurtured, to grow, to flourish
Let us keep close together, not far apart
Whakatauki - Proverb
Our common purpose as 'guardians' or 'kaitiaki' is to guide, protect and nurture all things.
​
As a community we share a collective responsibility to uphold, protect and nurture each child’s rights, interests, and cultural perspectives; to value each child as unique within the context of their own world view and to strengthen and celebrate each child’s capacity for success, every day.
