Achieving excellence through:

Responsibility/ Kawenga  – Trustworthy.  We can be accountable for own actions.  Aiming High.  Perseverance.

Respect/ Whakaute – Treat with courtesy.  Hold in high regard. Tolerant of others. Being fair in a team. We can care about ourselves and others, our community and our environment.

Kindness/ Atawhai - Help others, Show concern for others.  Friendly to others

Honesty/ Ngakau pono – Truthful to others and yourself.  Doing what is right regardless of who is around.  Someone others can trust.

For these values to have meaning, and for students to have ownership, students, and their families, provided their understandings.  These understandings have been incorporated within the school’s Hauora (well being).
