- Uri are well supported to develop their understanding of Ōmanaia values and principles in an environment upholding aroha, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga
- Leadership builds relational trust and collaboration; the poumarumaru members bring useful experiences and seek governance development through Ngā Kura ā-Iwi networks
- Professional growth cycles for tumuaki and kaiako are in early implementation stages with variable quality
- Low reo Māori competency among new uri has impacted achievement data: only 35% achieving expected literacy levels and 46% expected numeracy levels
- High number of uri transitioning from English medium schools contributes to lower achievement percentages
"Uri learn in an environment that upholds the values and beliefs of aroha, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga. There is a strong commitment to nurture the potential of each uri."
