TE TINO UARATANGA

Having encapsulated in the foregoing statements the major areas to be considered in the
education of children in Kura Kaupapa Māori, a final consideration focuses on what the
outcome might be for children who graduate from Kura Kaupapa Māori.

Kura Kaupapa Māori will have in place appropriate measures for assessing and evaluating the
achievement of their children at all levels of the national curriculum, as well as whatever else
the kura decides are valuable areas of knowledge for their children.

This part of the document focuses, however, on the whole person in terms of a fully
functioning human being whose personal attributes are recognised, nurtured and brought to
fruition.

In summary, then, Te Tino Uaratanga defines the characteristics which Kura Kaupapa Māori
aim to develop in their children, that they:

  • develop free, open and inquiring minds alert to every area of knowledge which they
    choose to pursue in their lives.
  • become competent thinkers, listeners, speakers, readers and writers in both Māori and
    English.
  • advance their individual talents to the highest levels of achievement.
  • delight in using their creative talents in all feats of endeavour.
  • are receptive to and have a great capacity for aroha, for joy and for laughter.
  • are true and faithful to their own sense of personal integrity while being caring,
    considerate and co-operative with others.
  • assimilate the fruits of learning into the deeper recesses of consciousness where knowing
    refreshes the spirit.
  • manifest self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline and well-developed qualities of
    leadership.
  • value their independence and self-determination in setting personal goals and achieving
    them.
  • radiate the joy of living.
  • manifest physical and spiritual well-being through the harmonious alignment of body,
    mind and spirit.
  • are secure in the knowledge of their ancestral links to the divine source of all humanity.
  • are high achievers who exemplify the hopes and aspirations of their people.
