Poipoia te kākano kia puāwai: Nurture the seed and it will blossom
Te Puāwai is a space where our more active and older tamariki continue to develop as confident and active rangatira within their community. In Te Puāwai, our tamariki are empowered to engage in learning experiences that support their unique needs and development, while also understanding the importance of maintaining respectful and collaborative relationships with others. As rangatira, each tamaiti is nurtured to be proud of who they are and to celebrate the beauty of diversity in Aotearoa.
