Guiding principles
Tū Rangatira is guided by four underlying principles:
| Māori potential | All Māori learners have unlimited potential. |
| Cultural advantage | All Māori learners have a cultural advantage in that they are Māori. |
| Inherent capability | All Māori learners are inherently capable of achieving success as Māori. |
| Mana motuhake | All Māori learners have the right to live and learn as tangata whenua of Aotearoa. |
