Whakataukī
"Ko Heretaunga Haukunui, Ararau, Hāro te Kāhu, Takoto Noa Heretaunga"
Heretaunga of life-giving dew, of a hundred pathways, the beauty of which can only be seen through the eyes of the hawk, left to us, the humble servants.
“Ko Heretaunga Haukunui, Ararau, Hāro te Kāhu, Takoto Noa” is a centuries old tribal whakataukī (proverb) that is central to the kaupapa of Inspire in Education.
It has many layers from which to identify and describe the tāngata whenua (people of the land), acknowledging Māori and their spiritual connection and birthplace of Heretaunga, the environment, and their relationship to each other, and as such is the framework for Inspire in Education Charitable Trusts kaupapa.

Inspire In Life is suicide and self-harm prevention programme.
Inspire In Education Professional Development we also facilitate PLD workshops for schools and corporations, local businesses and semi to professional sports teams.
Our strategic objectives are:
- To have Māori participate and succeed at all levels of learning and support the delivery of Māori language, culture & identity in the classroom.
- Provide schools with evidence-based advice to lift Māori student achievement and assist with wraparound services for students at risk of underachievement
- Fostering successful partnerships with parents, whānau, hapū, iwi, communities, and businesses focused on educational success for Māori
Our aspirations are:
- All students are achieving their academic potential to lead successful and productive lives as citizens.
- For all Māori students to feel safe and included, and able to learn as Māori and provide a learning environment that is attractive to and supportive of Māori and facilitates their success.
- For Māori learners to succeed in their programmes, and pathway onto higher qualifications where appropriate
Whānau are engaged in te aō Māori and te aō whānui to achieve their aspirations.
- Whānau are leading healthy lifestyles.
- Whānau are self-managing and empowered leaders and then participating fully in society.
- Whānau and families confidently participate in Te āo Māori.
How will we know we have been successful? When;
- Māori learner retention rates are at least equal to those of non-Māori, for all levels of Qualification
- Māori participate at each level, at least reflecting the proportion of Māori within all iwi.
- Māori learner successful course completion rates are at least those of non-Māori, for all levels of qualification, therefore Māori with higher level qualifications are more likely to be employed and earn higher incomes.
Statements that may be born from the stats;
- Māori boys don’t like writing
- Māori boys find writing too hard
- Māori boys are disengaged in learning
- Māori boys misbehave and distract others
- Māori boys have a bad attitude and/or a closed mindset
- Māori boys have a poor work ethic
- Māori boys get little or no support at home
Now, it might be that some or none of these statements are true for our Māori boys. BUT, our wondering is this: How do we know? What’s the story behind your data?

Logo Design Team
|
Our Inspire In Education logo was proudly designed by five gifted Māori tauira (learners) from Havelock North Intermediate School in Hawkes Bay, Aotearoa.
Our superstars are pictured below, to Mātua Conrad Waitoa right are Sophie (Year Seven), Tyler, Jason, Tiaho, Dayton all in Year 8.
Founder, Mātua Conrad Waitoa, wanted the rangatahi to create and to be part of the design process. After a kōrero explaining the kaupapa of Inspire In Education, the students were set the task of creating and then presenting their ideas to the rōpū (group).
With the guidance and support from Jamie Twigg and his experienced team at 543 Design, based in Napier, Hawkes Bay, we were able to take the best of the freehand, computer-generated logo designs and narrow down to three possible. Before finalising, we sought advice from our kaumātua Tom Mulligan, Papa, Togi Waitoa and Nanny Mary Waitoa
The Koru represents Inspire In Educations growth and new beginnings and sits behind the Taonga.
The Taonga represents the tauira (students) and whānau (family). This represents the fostering and support of healthy relationships and well-being.
