Our Approach

We take pride in the cultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand and acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Māori as Tangata Whenua. We respect the individual identity of each child and provide and inclusive curriculum, which encompasses gender and ethnicity, diversity of ability and learning needs, family structure and values, socioeconomic status, and religion.

Ko nga tamariki o enei ra hei rangatira mo apopo.
(Children of today are the leaders of tomorrow.)
