Our Vision & Values

"He Kura Ate-Raukawa"
Providing a high-quality bilingual, modern kura.

He Kura Ate-Raukawa embodies our vision of providing high-quality bilingual education in a supportive and inclusive environment. Just as the harakeke flourishes in the fertile soil of Te Awahou, our students thrive in an environment that nurtures their growth, resilience, and cultural identity. We view each student as a precious treasure or taonga, deserving of the highest quality education and care.

Awhina (Support)
We build positive, mana-enhancing, and respectful
relationships within our school community, supporting each other on our educational journey.

Reo (Language and Culture)
We highly value Te Reo Māori and its cultural practices as a pathway for learning, embracing bilingualism as a cornerstone of our educational approach.

Oranga (Well-being)
We prioritise the health and safety of ourselves and the environment, promoting physical, emotional, and environmental well-being.

Hononga (Connection)
We celebrate diversity, identity, and belonging, fostering a sense of connection and unity within our school whānau.

Ako (Learning)
We nurture a high-quality, learning-focused environment, inspiring curiosity, resilience, and a passion for lifelong learning.

As part of our commitment to fostering an inclusive and culturally affirming environment, Foxton Primary School is guided by the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. For more information on how we implement Te Tiriti in our school practices, please visit our policy documents page.
