Kia ora, Kia orana, Talofa Lava, Bula Vinaka, Malo e Lelei, Fakalofa lahi atu, Nihao, Namaste, Chao, Hola, Salaam Aleikum – ngā mihi matakuikui ki a koutou katoa.
Ehara taku toa, i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini – My strength is not as an individual, but as a collective. This whakatauki speaks to the essence of our kura kaupapa. Our whānau here at Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School are committed to uplifting student achievement and celebrating our uniqueness, culture and identity.
We believe in our vision: Aroha mai, Aroha atu. Mana mai, Mana atu, as a school which provides leadership in achieving learning success for diverse communities through Tiriti-based practice and our co-governance model. Our pou: Whanaungatanga, Manaakitanga, Rangatiratanga and Kaitiakitanga – weave through our teaching pedagogy and give life to our Graduate Profile.
Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School leads through Te Ao Māori and this is reflected in our school culture. We celebrate the three language pathways here: Māori-Medium, Dual-Medium and English-Medium. Te Reo Māori and tikanga Māori is reflected in all our pathways and school practice.
Pai tū, pai hinga, nāwai rā, ka oti.
