Hei Taniwha
Kei te kapu o ooku ringa he oranga mooku.
I hold my future in my hands.
We are guided by the principles and values of the Kiingitanga. We acknowledge the mana of the hau kaainga, Ngaati Maahanga on this whenua. Our Hei Taniwha kaupapa nurtures and grows a te ao Maaori worldview, so that aakonga are empowered to confidently live out who they are, embracing all aspects of their culture. We strive to embody our three pou of mana, hauora and whanaungatanga, so that aakonga are supported through Years 9 to 13 to reach their potential.

Advisory
We meet our aakonga in Te Taumata o te Maatauranga during Advisory / Group slots scheduled in the timetable. Each of the sessions are led by one of the year level groups. During the sessions kaiako, Ngaa Niho o Te Taniwha and aakonga lead tikanga as well as activities that help strengthen our whanaungatanga within Hei Taniwha.
