  • Embrace a curiosity-based pedagogy, supporting tamariki to question, explore, create and lead their own learning pathways.
  • Confidently use Te Whāriki to guide high-quality planning, assessment and practice.
  • Write learning stories that authentically reflect children's identities, cultures, dispositional learning and the holistic principles of Te Whāriki.
  • Work collaboratively with kaiako, whānau and our wider community.
