Whakatauki
"Ko Heretaunga Haukunui, Ararau, Haaro te Kaahu, 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, Haaro te Kaahu, 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 Maori 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.

Short Intro - Inspire In Education
Inspire In Education Limited is a Charitable Trust CC54393.

Statements that may be born from some teachers’ perceptions, and which are sitting beneath the targets relating to improving the writing achievement of our Māori boys:
• 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 mind set
• 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 rima (5) gifted Māori akonga (learners) from Havelock North Intermediate School in Hawkes Bay, Aotearoa.
Our superstars are pictured below, to matua Conrad Waitoa right are, Sophie (Year 7), Tyler, Jason, Tiaho, Dayton all in Year 8.
Founder, matua Conrad Waitoa, wanted the rangatahi to create and to be part of the design process. After a korero explaining the kaupapa of Inspire In Education, the students were set the task of creating and then presenting their idea 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 free hand, computer generated logo designs and narrow down to 3 possible. Before finalising, we seeked advise from our kaumatua's matua Tom Mulligan, Papa, Togi Waitoa and Nanny Mary Waitoa
The Koru represents Inspire In Educations growth and new beginnings and sit behind the Taonga.
The Taonga represents the akonga (students) and whānau (family). This represent the fostering and support of strong relationships and well-being.
