Manaakitanga

"Manaakitanga is caring and helping for those who come into our family group"  Danny Te Moananui, Teacher

 We are demonstrating Manaakitanga when we:

- Make all visitors to our classroom welcome by acknowledging and greeting them;
- Offer non-school visitors food and drink, serve them before we eat/drink ourselves and introduce them to everyone in the room; 
- Leave class rooms as we find them;
- Take off our hats before we enter class rooms;
- Refrain from sitting on any table or bench as both food eating and learning are ‘tapu’.
