Ngā Mātāpono Whānui: The Overarching Principles

Central to Te Marautanga o Aotearoa is the Treaty of Waitangi. Arising from the Treaty, the following overarching principles guide our School Curriculum/Marautanga and the teaching and learning in the Māori-medium Strand:

• The learner is the centre of teaching and learning

• The learner has a high level of personal awareness

• The learner achieves their potential

• School, whānau, community, hapū and iwi work together

• A healthy environment is a healthy people
