Our WHARE values were chosen by our children, staff and school community. Our community thought these values would help us achieve in our learning and also help our school be a safe and happy place to come.
The values are very important and we believe by displaying these values we will be a school community that helps each other to connect, grow, think, achieve and be leaders for the future.
The walls and roof of the WHARE represent a house colour and each wall, roof side and floor has a value we believe will keep our children, safe and protected while learning together.
Whanaungatanga (Building positive relationships)
Honesty (I am true to others and myself )
Ako (I am a learner and a teacher)
Respect (I will treat others how I want to be treated)
Engaged in learning (I will set goals, reflect and ask questions about my learning)
Every Monday morning we have a HUI to welcome the children back from the weekend or holidays and to talk about our focus for the week eg Using our manners, looking after our environment, welcoming visitors.
Children are given Tumeke tokens and house points for displaying our values. The staff also praise, praise, praise our tamariki for making positive choices.
