"E Tū Tāngata seeks to change the narrative. Instead of criticism (which can lead to damaging beliefs about yourself and others), we want to raise the bar. To believe that each individual has value, that we can succeed together and that others matter is at the core of E Tū Tāngata.

We want to create a new script, whereby people can authentically E Tū Tāngata (Stand Together) in support of one another; this is about celebrating individual success and championing one another in pursuit of dreams and accomplishments."

Rolleston College is bringing this kaupapa on board and it's becoming part of the way we do things.
