Te Uaratanga o Te Ataarangi
National Statement
To teach the Māori language as a medium through which the wellbeing of the world and of human beings might be raised.
A core value of Te Ataarangi is ngākau māhaki – the concept of ngākau māhaki incorporates the human values of truth, peace, harmony, right and proper conduct, non-violence, love, kindness and goodwill. Being “ngākau māhaki” unites the learners into a single cohesive group learning together, mindful of, and respectful of each other’s needs.
Te Ataarangi
Regional Statement
Te Ataarangi ki Te Tauihu o Te Waka-a-Māui upholds the above by fostering and promoting immersion teaching and learning opportunities across the Top of the South, with the aim of a strengthened reo capacity amongst the whānau, hapū, iwi and communities.
