Philosophy
“Langimalie – we use the concept of a bright, clear sky to speak about the bright, open and happy face of a person”
| Ofa | Energy and compassion |
| Toka’i | Knowing the basis and sources of knowledge |
| Ilo, Ako, Poto | Knowing what to teach (ilo), how to teach (ako) and applying what is taught (poto) |
| Mafana & Malie | Warmth and happiness that stems from the hearts of people. |
These are the principles that guide us each day as we work with your children.
