Our Commitment to Student Success and Wellbeing
At Te Wharau School, our guiding CHARM values – Cooperation, Hauora, Attitude, Resilience, and Manners – shape the way we create a safe, inclusive, and high-achieving learning environment. These values reflect our commitment to the success and wellbeing of every student at our school.
We work together as a school community - students, staff, and whānau to create an environment where everyone feels supported. Through cooperation we eliminate barriers such as racism, bullying, and discrimination, ensuring equity and fairness for all.
Hauora (wellbeing) is central to how we care for our students and staff. Through Duries, Te Whare Tapa Wha model we actively promote physical and emotional safety, so everyone can thrive and learn in a positive, nurturing environment.
We encourage a positive and determined attitude towards learning and personal growth. By upholding respect for the rights of all individuals, we ensure every learner has the opportunity to reach their highest potential.
Resilience empowers our learners to overcome challenges and setbacks. We support students in developing the skills to respond constructively to difficulties, enabling them to achieve success despite obstacles.
Manners underpin how we interact with one another. Respect, kindness, and integrity guide our relationships, ensuring an inclusive school culture that values people from all walks of life and caters to students with differing needs.
Together, our CHARM values ensure that Te Wharau School is a safe, inclusive, and empowering place of learning, where every child is supported to attain their best educational outcomes.
