Our bicultural practice is supported by weekly Kapa Haka sessions led by kaiako Matiu Te Huki. Our vision statement: “We respect and enhance the mana of every child in an environment of kind and caring relationships: - with each other/ngā hononga
- with our community/whanaungatanga
- with our environment/kaitiakitanga
- and with our place/tangata whenuatanga.”
Mana: We see mana as the power and potential the child brings with them. (He Pou Tātaki, MOE 2013). | SESSION TIMES
Monday to Friday: 8:45am – 2:45pm
| | We have a strong focus on supporting children to develop kind, caring and respectful relationships. We have kōhatu/stones which we use with the children to acknowledge their learning around relationship building and our philosophy. We run a Beach Kindergarten Programme, taking our ten oldest children down to explore and learn about our local beach environment once a week. We value our relationships with the local schools and have a comprehensive research-based transition to school programme. We have a team of five qualified, registered kaiako/teachers committed to providing the highest quality of education and care to the tamariki/children and whānau/families in our community. | |
