2026 Theme ~ Our Roots, Our Voices, Our Future
When we know who we are and where we come from,
we can achieve anything.
This theme is about ensuring that every student feels like they truly belong and are supported to thrive. In Aotearoa we achieve this through connection with our land, through Te Ao Māori and by using our unique culture and environment to create a fair, healthy space where everyone can learn in their own way.
Rehu Tai has been designed to align directly with the themes of the ICP conference and their guiding whakatauki;
Purapura Korari, Ka ruia e te hau
The seeds of the flax bush are dispersed by the four winds
Like those seeds, we want our students to be grounded in their roots, and equipped to fly where the winds take them.
Our theme is strategically broad to allow for interpretation and creativity - this allows for artistic interpretation and lends itself to either direct or inferred meanings - as deep and philosophical or as literal as students want to go. The aim is to be inclusive of all learners regardless of their ability and should be accessible by all cultures.
All presentations must be aligned with the theme.
