As a future-focused organisation, we
are committed to ensuring our own
future and protecting our natural
environment. Beyond bricks and
mortar, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is
the manifestation of our collective
efforts to provide a nurturing and
supportive learning environment
that meets the needs of our people.
We place huge value on the efforts of
those who have gone before us and
we recognise our organisation as a
taonga (treasure) – a mark of deep
respect and an acknowledgement of
the sacrifices our predecessors made
for us in a spirit of service.
Outcome three
Kaitiakitanga is secured
Alignment with Te Rautakinga
The Kaitiakitanga outcome aligns with three of our 2030
strategic attributes:
• Te Wānanga o Aotearoa respects Papatūānuku in urban and
natural settings and seeks opportunities to rejuvenate our
environment to create a sustainable future for our tamariki
and mokopuna.
• Te Wānanga has strategic relationships with iwi and
other stakeholders that include equity investments in
collaborative ventures resulting in positive outcomes for
Māori and peoples of Aotearoa.
• Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is a current agile and financially
sustainable organisation with significant funds available to
be used to further its mission.
Output measures
Our output measures represent our approach to ensuring
our organisation is financially and educationally sustainable,
protecting the environment and supporting our stakeholders.
Te Wānanga o Aotearoa achieved 4 of 5 output targets for this
outcome. The following table shows the measures and targets
for kaitiakitanga.
We again received a low risk rating under the Financial Monitoring Framework utilised by the Tertiary
Education Commission. In addition, the rating includes a high confidence rating on our financial forecasts.
These ratings reflect our robust financial planning and operating processes in place.
The natural environment, too, is considered a taonga.
Our connections with the land, the water and the air are
embedded deep within our culture, within our worldview
and within our ways of being. Our complete reliance
on the biosphere demands that we make significant
efforts to protect our planet. We do this because we
value the lives of those who will follow us and we wish
to honour them with an inheritance worthy of the name.
Kaitiakitanga describes our efforts to fulfil our obligations
and meet our objectives for sustainability of
these taonga.
