Our Vision
A child is a treasure to be nurtured to grow to fly....
Our vision is for all children to be actively involved in their own learning, fostering curiosity, enabling them to become capable, competent and independent lifelong learners, healthy in mind, body and spirit.
Our core values
Maiatanga / Confidence
Hakinakina / Fun
Without this, nothing else matters.
We encourage each other to speak our truth. We support and encourage each other to embrace their true selves and share our uniqueness with the world.
You can be the best in the world at something but don't have the confidence then it doesn't matter.
Fun is that magical feeling that fills our hearts with joy and laughter, making life brighter and more enjoyable. We create an environment where happiness and enjoyment are a learning focus.
Not much else to say really
We create an environment where happiness and enjoyment are a learning focus as well as a learning tool. Make learning fun and the rest takes care of itself.
Atawhai / Kindness
Kindness is strength
We value being kind to one another, using our manners, and being considerate of other's feelings and accepting where each person is at.
Being kind to one another, using manners and being considerate of each others feelings.
Whakauru / Inclusion

Every person's uniqueness is celebrated. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Working together as one, as a team. Every one has something to offer.
Curiosity
Vital for learning, for growth and to being a better version of one's self.
We embrace the question "Why...?" Mmmmm
Whakaute / Respect
We always respect one another's right to safety and dignity. We will speak to each other with calmness, politeness and consideration.
