The past and present knowledge shapes the future. Knowing this we involve our community, history of our place and the people that come here to support future learning.

People are taonga. Relationships are important to us. We will be responsive to the needs of whanau, building a relationship for the benefit of each child.

We celebrate the joy of being a child. Children will have fun here as they learn through play.
(Ako - Wellbeing)

We support each individual to be curious, innovative, and creative; making discoveries about the world around them.

The outdoor environment is valued as a learning space. We embrace nature and our place in it.
