Tainui Full Primary School
Tainui Full Primary School
Our Tainui Way is our values – Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and Excellence. These are embedded in our school life here at TFPS where we live and breathe the Tainui Way. When our tamariki embrace these values, it enables them to become confident and capable learners and citizens, not only in school but within their communities. We aim to prepare our students to adapt, live and learn in a world that is always changing.
We show respect by speaking and acting with courtesy, we are polite and use manners.
We treat others with dignity and honour the rules of our family, school, community and country.
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
When talking to people we look and listen to them.
Being responsible means others can trust you to do the things with excellence.
You accept accountability for your actions.
When you make a mistake, you offer amends instead of excurses.
Responsibility is the ability to respond ably and make smart choices.
Honesty is about being truthful to myself and to others.
Honesty is important because it builds trust.
It is admitting mistakes even when you know someone might be angry or disappointed.
When people are honest they can be relied on.
Excellence is about showing commitment and determination to achieve the best you can.
Excellence is the key to success.
