What guides our mahi? Our people. He Mahere Rautaki, built on our four pou - whakapapa, mātauranga, manaaki and mana moana, mana whenua - informs our decision making.
He Mahere Rautaki
The weaving of iwi, waka and tipuna came to the birth of Rongomaiwahine. Under her, we are one. Rongomaiwahine is the Whaea o Te Motu. She connects and unites us as people.
Our knowledge has been passed down through our tīpuna, connecting us back to our first whare wananga on Waikawa. Rongomaiwahine mātauranga links us to all corners of Aotearoa.
Ngā tangata o Rongomaiwahine are humble people. We derive our value from caring and nurturing of others.
Our tipuna were pre-destined to arrive at the shore of Te Mahia Mai Tawhiti. This spiritual connection to moana and whenua binds our intergenerational relationship to our Taiao and defines our kaitiakitanga.
