Kia ora e te whānau,
As you are probably aware, recent changes to the Education and Training Act have removed the explicit requirement for School Boards to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This was discussed at our School Board meeting on Monday night and, as a result of that, we would like to share the following statement and attached letter with you.
We would like to reassure families and whānau that, while this legislative shift has occurred, our commitment to our Vision and school’s values remains unchanged. This includes a commitment and dedication to honouring Te Tiriti.
Our policies, practices and everyday actions will continue to reflect the principles of Te Tiriti as they always have.
Ngā mihi nui
