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.
