2025 Learning In Action

Mihi Whakatau

On the first Friday of the 2025 school year, our MWPS whānau came together to warmly welcome our new students, staff, and their whānau with a mihi whakatau. This traditional Māori welcome brings together manuhiri (visitors) and tangata whenua (home people), strengthening our sense of belonging and unity.

To our new MWPS whānau—nau mai, haere mai! We are honoured that you have chosen MWPS as a place for your tamariki to learn and grow. As we embark on this new journey together, we embrace the values that define our school community:

🌿 Kaitiakitanga – We take care of our environment and each other, ensuring a sustainable and respectful future for all.
❤️ Manaakitanga – We show kindness, respect, and care, creating a welcoming and inclusive space for all.
🤝 Whanaungatanga – We build strong relationships and support one another, knowing that together, we thrive.
⭐ Rangatiratanga – We encourage leadership, self-determination, and the pursuit of excellence in all that we do.

With these values at the heart of our MWPS whānau, we look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and meaningful connections.

Nau mai, haere mai—welcome to MWPS!
