Let us affirm our College Values.

To bring light to and affirm the values of our school.

To care for one another with the utmost respect, to encourage others’ mana and honour leadership, to be resilient in our endeavours, to be honest and have integrity.

May this be reflected in the hearts and behaviours of each student and staff member of our college.

These are the agreed foundational pillars of our college, as we seek out the distant horizon, while cherishing those achievements at hand.

Rongomatane we affirm this to you.
