Mauri (o te taiohi)

We acknowledge the mauri, the inherent life spark and potential of young people, by supporting the development of their identity.

Mauri is the life spark inherent in all young people.  It includes their values, beliefs, skills, and talents.  Fuelling that life spark means young people are seen, recognised and valued for who they are.  Young people are supported to follow their interests and passions and to actively construct their own identity. 

 

Linked to their whakapapa, when their mauri is secure/solid, young people stand in their own truth.

Mauri mahi, mauri ora - A working soul is a healthy soul
