This Kiato reinforces Taiatea’s commitment to the living of our core values across the school and beyond (Takere Aronui, Whanau, Hapori). Our values framework is based on
PoUtuWhaKaAro: Pono (Honesty/Integrity), Tauutuutu (Reciprocity), Whanaungatanga (Relationships),Kawenga (Responsiblity) and Aroha ( Respect) (I4R). The Kiato Uaratanga aims to ensure that our core Taaitea values are continually uplifted across the Wharekura. Nga Taiatea students have increased power over what they as Nga Taiatea Students, so our values focus in 2012 is “responsibility”.
With increased decision making power, comes increased responsibility. A major goal for Nga Taiatea is to ensure that our students can manage themselves effectively and also contribute effectively to other people and kaupapa.
