  • Summer in Aotearoa New Zealand – Explore, have fun and stay safe!

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) is supporting students to explore New Zealand this summer with an emphasis on staying safe during their holiday break.  

    NauMai NZ has dedicated pages on outdoor safety,  water safety, road safety and the New Zealand climate, supporting students to prepare for their activities over the summer. NauMai NZ also has information on the cities and regions of New Zealand, along with recommendations of things to do and see and how to get there. 

    ENZ reminds students to keep themselves safe from scams. If students have lost money in a scam or have been the victim of an online scam where threats have been made against them, they can contact the NZ Police who are here to help. Phone 105 or report online. 

    Summer is a great opportunity to take a break from study and find time to relax and explore our beautiful country. There is plenty to see and do in New Zealand but students can also take steps to stay safe, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. NauMai NZ is here to help them. 

    Happy summer holidays!

    Picture of the the Kākā bird carrying the Manapou

    The Kākā (a parrot native to New Zealand) as it carried the Manapou (fruit kernal) on its journey to New Zealand. This images features in the welcome area of ENZ's Wellington headquarters.

    Education New Zealand’s Māori name is metaphorical and tells a story which is embedded in our brand and Ngā Manapou (our values) and how we work as an organisation.

     

    Te whakapapa o Manapou ki te Ao – the genealogy of our Māori name – goes back to 2018 when ENZ’s Māori advisory team developed Rautaki Māori (our Māori Strategy). The name was endorsed in 2019 by the then Minister of Education.

     

    ·       Manapou – refers to the fruit kernel that nourished and sustained the Kākā (a parrot native to New Zealand) as it carried the seed in its crop on the journey from Hawaiki to Aotearoa.  

     

    ·       Ki te Ao – the word ‘Ao’ means the ‘world’ and also refers to the ‘dawn’. In Māori cosmogony, the idea of ‘Ao’ signifies dawn or a new beginning every day, new experiences, opportunities and learnings. 

     

    Manapou ki te Ao describes how Aotearoa New Zealand education nourishes and empowers students and enables them to be the world’s next generation of problem solvers.  

     

    Our name and the story are embedded in ENZ’s Manapou ki te Ao colour palette:

    ·       the deepwater blue represents the flight of the Kākā over the ocean

    ·       the surface blue stands for approaching land over shallow water

    ·       the Manapou orange is the Manapou stone brought by the Kākā

    ·       the East Coast sand colour alludes to the sandy shores of Aotearoa.  

  • Our values

    Blocks in different shades of blue with one value in each box: Be one, Manaakitanga, Kaitiakitanga, Be bold, Aroha

     

    Our work is guided by Ngā Manapou – our values of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, be one and be bold that are all encompassed by aroha.

     

    Manaakitanga

    Manaakitanga refers to hospitality, kindness, generosity, or support as much as it does to the process of showing that respect, generosity or care for others.

    Kaitiakitanga

    Be one

    We interact positively with our colleagues to enhance our collective mana. We partner with generosity and appreciation. We work collaboratively and constructively. We appreciate effective teamwork.

    Be bold

    We consult genuinely before making decisions. We constantly challenge what’s gone before and shape what’s coming. We develop powerful relationships with our partners.

    Aroha

    Aroha – meaning love, affection, or compassion – guides and underpins all Ngā Manapou as we strive to think and act constructively, listen respectfully and value the beliefs and culture of all our staff.
