Children bring their whnau (families) with them when they enter the classroom. Which is why we teach you to build a holistic view of an individual child, to understand the distinct and complex lives of tamariki and their whnau. We will give you tools from diverse subjects such as health sciences, languages, and child and family psychology to do so. This perspective will allow you to gain a better understanding of diversity and reflect on your own teaching philosophies.

Its really important in teaching to have a relationship with a childs whnau. Ideally youre forming a partnership where everyones working together for a childs best outcome. It goes beyond education to their overall wellbeing. We set up environments that stimulate all the different domains of learning, and its fun for teachers as well!
