The cornerstones of our approach
The cornerstones are the key elements that guide our approach towards leadership and character.
Humility Ngākau māhaki
Relationships Whanaungatanga
To show strength of leadership, balanced by having the humility to stand back, act selflessly, and see strengths in others. It is about putting our own self-interest aside to uplift and empower others.
To show the qualities of teamwork, collaboration, working with others in supportive and cooperative ways. Placing importance on respect, trust, loyalty and fellowship as we look to both lead, support and serve others. Recognising the good we have received from others and respecting that which they entrust to us.
Service Whaiaro āwhina tangata To lead for the enrichment of others rather than ourselves. To recognise the good we have received from others and pay it forward for others to benefit from in the future. To take action and show a willingness to make a difference through volunteering and taking the initiative. To answer the call for help when needed.
Compassion Ngākau aroha To show generosity and care for those less fortunate than ourselves and to show empathy toward the needs of others. It is embedded in acts such as forgiveness, helping a loved one, encouraging one another or even supporting a complete stranger. To seek outcomes for the greater good of others.
Courage Mātātoa
To not be afraid to act. To act because you feel you must act. Courageous leaders are willing to make difficult decisions and not back down when things get too hard. We want our boys to be brave enough to take the initiative, pursue new ideas and make a difference.
