Te Whare Whai Hua
Our kaupapa

OUR PHILOSOPHY

He Rapunga Whakaaro: Philosophy
​Te Whare Whai Hua exists to provide a safe, secure and loving place where tamariki can thrive as unique individuals. 
Our kaupapa is to provide our whānau with a strong sense of tūrangawaewae (belonging), where they feel valued as rangatira to actively contribute to their child's learning and development. 
Our kaupapa is founded upon wairuatanga, whakapapa and whakapono  (spirituality, relational connections and righteousness).
We honour and celebrate our hononga as Ngā Uri a Māui with mana whenua, connecting us to Te Tairāwhiti, to Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, to Aotearoa, and beyond.
Our whānau embrace mātauranga and kaupapa Māori, and nurture our tamariki as taonga tuku iho
As ākonga, we strive to learn alongside our tamariki and whānau, ensuring their interests are supported through collaborative learning.
We will respect and honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our obligation to embody the principles throughout the curriculum.
We acknowledge the special place of mana tangata and mana atua, and will treat all tamariki and their whānau with aroha and respect. 

Whāinga: Our Aim

Our aim is to enrich the lives of all tamariki and whānau by carefully weaving our whāriki mātauranga with aroha and manaakitanga. 

Wawata: Our Aspirations
To nurture children to grow with a strong sense of tūrangawaewae, connecting themselves to their iwi, hapū, whānau and community
To build lifelong confident learners who are respectful and caring
 To provide an environment that places the child at the centre of all learning
 To embody values and principles drawn from mātauranga Māori in Te Tairāwhiti and Aotearoa
 To respect social justice and equity in all that we do, by being inclusive, loving, and enabling of all children, of all needs
