Our philosophy
Our teachers, tamariki and whanau work together in a collaborative environment, promoting and supporting a culture of love and respectful relationships. We empower our tamariki to develop reciprocal relationships, understanding and empathy as they explore their boundaries and the boundaries of others. We promote inclusive, happy, safe and fun learning environments where tamariki learn at their own pace, developing confidence and a sense of mana whenua.
