Korihi te manu | The bird sings
Takiri mai i te ata | The morning has dawned
Ka ao, ka ao, ka awatea | The day has broken
Tihei Mauri Ora | Behold there is life

The Y kaupapa is to build ‘strong kids, strong families, strong communities through investing the next generation. Y Education is part of ‘The Y’ family and carries this kaupapa through educating our youth and communities. Our students gain the skills needed to show up in this world and prepare for the next steps, whether that be work or more study.

Ahurutanga is our priority for our students – come with your mana and leave with your mana.

Our safe and supportive learning environments and programmes support our students in establishing, reflecting and renewing their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. Our students tell us that the Y providers them a safe, supportive, fun and positive place to learn – you can’t ask for better than that if education and learning hasn’t been a positive experience.

We get to know our tairua, their lives and their whānau, recognising that everyone comes from different walks of life and have different needs. We live our values of caring, respect, honesty and responsibility.
