The Inner Beauty of our Pātamariki 

Each tiny Child has an inner beauty, as does the tiny Paua.

It is our charge as teachers to help our Pātamariki, to build their own layers of ‘life learning’, as Tangoroa charged his tiny Paua to do with his own shell of life.

Each of our Pātamariki is uniquely individual and their own life learning is as diverse as the colours of the tiny Paua, each is so beautiful and unique it is a wonder to see their colours of life being revealed.

It is our privilege, as teachers, to be part of our Pātamariki’s ‘Colourful Life Learning’ adventure.

This, the tiny Paua will show us all, that life is colourful and full of surprises.
