PAE WHAKAPŪMAU

Whakapūmau means to make permanent or constant. Implicit in our learning and teaching is the concept of whakapūmautanga as a contractual and reciprocal agreement that mediates the principles of social, cultural, economic and environmental sustainability. These principles are advanced by our teaching and embedded in our curricula.
