Tānira: Kāinga; ahi kā

Ko te ūkaipotanga tētahi o ngā mātāpono. E mea ana te ūkaipotanga kei tō kāinga, kei tō ahikā anō hoki te wāhi e taea e te tangata te Māori te noho hāneanea, whakaaro hāneanea, kia kaua e tāmia e te whakaaro hīanga, te whakaaro nanakia. Ko te mātāpono, ko te pūkengatanga, koina tētahi o ngā mātāpono hāngai ki a mātou, arā, kia titiro matomato pea ki ngā pūkenga o te tamaiti, ki ngā pūmanawa o te tamaiti, ki reira tīmata ki te mirimiri ki te awhi, ki te whakakipakipa i ērā pūkenga. Ko te whanaungatanga tētahi o ngā tino mātāpono, ka kitea e mātou e te kura he āhuatanga e hāpai i ērā atu o ngā mātāpono.

Indigenous sustenance is one of our values. You can be sustained by your home, and by the land where you feel most comfortable and at ease, where nothing will trouble or upset you. Being well educated is another value and is very relevant to us, so we look at how the individual skills and talent of a child can flourish, then we nurture and encourage those talents. A sense of family is one of the most important principles, at our school we find that this at the root of all the values we uphold.
