Te Mana Whakahaere — ko te tino rangatiratanga, ko te mana motuhake ki ngā taumata katoa

Ko ‘Te Mana Whakahaere’ ko te mana motuhake, ko tō ake mana ki te whakahaere i tō ara ako me tō oranga, ā ko te mana ki te whakatau tonu i ngā āhuatanga whai hua ki tō oranga. Ehara te mana motuhake i te take takitahi anake, he kawenga hoki ki te oranga o te takitini.

Victoria stands at her workplace in front of a colourful mural painted onto a water tank, smiling into the distance.

“Stand in your mana and be yourself. Don't try and be someone you’re not, if you have a problem, ask for help. Go and get the support. Don't try and tackle it yourself if it's overwhelming you.”

He ara e tūhono ai ki tēnei whetū

  • Ki te timu te tai, me pao te torea – Whakamahia tō reo! E tū ki ō ake mōtika, me ngā mōtika ō ērā atu ina kāore e tau tika ana tētahi āhuatanga ki a koe. Ka āhei koe ki te piri atu ki ngā momo rūnanga tauira, ki ngā momo whakatōpūtanga hoki ki te hiahia kia hohe atu ai koe hei māngai, kia whai wāhi rānei tō reo ki ngā kaupapa e mata kikoha ana ki a koe.
  • Kia whai mana tonu koe ki tō mahi ako, ki tō oranga rānei, mātua nei, me mātau pai koe ki ō kaupapa katoa. Uia te pātai ki ērā atu tāngata, ā, ki ērā e whakaakona ai koe, ki ō kaitautoko ki tō wāhi ako, ki tō wāhi mahi rānei.
  • Ina ko te mana motuhake, te mana whakahaere rānei o tētahi kaupapa, he haepapa tahi nō te katoa. Toro atu te ringa ki tētahi e hiahiatia ana pea te tautoko ina e taea e koe tērā tautoko te tuku. Mēnā ko koe kē tēnā e hiahia ana ki te kupu tohutohu, tēnā, toroa atu te ringa ki tētahi e taea ana koe te tautoko.
  • Kōrerohia ō kōrero, ō wheako rānei ki ētahi atu, e kore koe e mōhio e pēhea ana te hua o tērā kōrero e noho ana hei papa āwhina ki tētahi atu ki tō rātou ao.

“Being able to self–determine your learning journey is really important. To be able to see yourself in your learning and future; to have a voice, to speak to how you want to carve out that journey, enables success.”
