Primary/secondary Education - Te Kauwhata, Waikato, New Zealand
Te Kauwhata college has the word GROW as the acronym for the core values that inform our work together. Growth, Respect, Ownership and Whanaungatanga are the pillars, or ‘pou' of our school, founded in the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi - Participation, Protection and Partnership. We aim to GROW young people who are confident, connected, capable, creative citizens. Young people who can move with ease between rural and urban New Zealand. Globally informed young citizens who understand the differences between the various worlds of our fore-fathers, who respect and understand the cultures of each other and those around us, as well as those of the different worlds in which we may find ourselves in the future.
