Te Whakakitenga
(Vision)
Our vision is inspired by
Kiingi Taawhiao:
Maaku anoo e hanga tooku nei whare
Ko ngaa pou oo roto he maahoe, he
patatee
Ko te taahuuhuu he hiinau
Me whakatupu ki te hua o te rengarenga
Me whakapakari ki te hua o te kawariki.
I shall build my house from the lesser
known trees of the forest.
The support posts shall be maahoe and
patatee, and the ridge pole of hiinau.
My people will be nourished by the
rengarenga and strengthened by
the kawariki.
Te Ahunga
(Mission)
Our purpose is captured in the
words of Princess Te Puea:
Kia tupu, kia hua, kia puawai
To grow, to prosper, to sustain.
