Te Whāriki informs our Programme Planning for teaching and learning. There are 4 Principles underlying Te Whāriki:
-
Whakamana - Empowerment
-
Kotahitanga - Holistic Development
-
Whānau Tangata - Family and Community
-
Ngā Hononga - Relationships
Weaving through the 4 Principles are the 5 Strands which frame and inform our teaching:
-
Mana Atua - Well-being
-
Mana Whenua - Belonging
-
Mana Tangata - Contribution
-
Mana Reo - Communication
-
Mana Aotūroa - Exploration
Your child's learning is documented in a Profile Book which you can take home. It is also available electronically through Educa.
