Our Superpowers

These are what make us unique

Cheekee Hero

Our super robot, Cheekee, symbolises kotahitanga (unity) and the strength found in collective spirit. Tamariki empower Cheekee, just as they uplift one another. This reflects the principle of Partnership (Rangatiratanga and Kāwanatanga), ensuring a collaborative approach where whānau, hapū, and iwi are central to our mahi.

Storytelling

Through pūrākau (narratives), we create spaces where tamariki and rangatahi with diverse abilities share their experiences. This aligns with Participation (Ōritetanga), ensuring their voices are valued and heard in shaping the future.

Fun

We amplify the joy tamariki bring to the world, reminding everyone of their mana (inherent dignity and strength). Their resilience and ability to find happiness, despite challenges, inspire our approach to advocacy and awareness.

Agile

Our ability to adapt and respond to the needs of tamariki and whānau ensures that we are always pushing for positive change. Our responsiveness aligns with Partnership, ensuring we co-design solutions alongside the communities we serve

Māori & Pasifika

Our deep connection to Māori and Pasifika heritage strengthens our ability to serve our hapori in a culturally authentic and empowering way. By embedding tikanga Māori and Pasifika wisdom, we uphold Protection (Tino Rangatiratanga), ensuring tamariki can thrive while staying true to their identity.
