Ki te whai Ao Ki te Ao Mārama
The pursuit of the world of light and of enlightenment.
The purpose of the Morrinsville Kāhui Ako Community of Learning is embodied in our statement of purpose which is to create a community- wide empowering culture of learning dedicated to achieving success for every learner.
Empowering Learning for All.
Our Vision "Empowering Learning for All' clearly signals our intent to raise student achievement within a culture of empowerment.
Our challenges have been developed following extensive consultation and reflection with all key stakeholders. They are designed to promote a culture of learning where every learner gains the attitudes, values and beliefs that they can, and will, learn.
Whakatauki
Te pae tawhiti, whāia kia tata
Te pae tata, whāia kia u.
That which is on the distant horizon,
pursue it to bring it close;
That which is near at hand,
pursue it too, to its completion.

The Whakatauki above was gifted to use by Kaumātua and Professor Tom Roa who has close whānau links with Ngāti Hauā and Ngāti Wairere. Tom's great wisdom and mana has guided the formation of our purpose as he considered our journey, past, present and future.
The Whakatauki speaks to our vision and purpose. It helps give us meaning, strength and motivation for the work ahead.
