About us and our programme 

All tamariki and their whānau are nurtured to develop a strong sense of belonging, with kōhitanga and manaakitanga at the
manawa of what we do at Poupoutunoa.

Manaakitanga
Manaakitanga is reflected through, kindness, aroha, respect and generosity. This is seen through nurturing positive
relationships and creating a sense of belonging for all.

Whakamana
Kaiako will create an environment where children feel capable and confident. Through this tamariki, kaiako and whānau will develop a strong sense of identity and a belief in their abilities by being seen, heard and valued in their learning environment.

Ako
Together we bring our strengths and knowledge collectively embracing these through tuakana tenia relationships where everyone is valued through manaakitanga.

Whānaungatanga
Kaiako work alongside with tamariki, whānau, and the wider community to create an environment where respectful relationships are fostered through warmth, and acceptance and weave together to strengthen a deep sense of
whānau belonging.

Kaiako will create an environment where tamariki mana, mauri and wairua will be seen valued and heard. This will support
tamariki, kaiako and whanau to develop a strong sense of identity and belief in their abilities to meet their full potential.
