Charter
Mai Miria-te-kakara ki Whitireia, whakawhitia te moana o Raukawa, ki Wairau, ki Whakatu.
Whitireia New Zealand is named after the Whitireia maunga (mountain) of Titahi Bay. This is the mountain that Ngäti Toa identify with, the highest mountain in their rohe (district). This is the physical reflection of their aspirations and their perception of their tribal standing and worth.
Whitireia was founded on a fundamental belief is that everyone has a right to an education which assists them to develop their talents and abilities, and it is our responsibility to make sure that all individuals are supported and encouraged to succeed in this endeavour.
To make this happen we are committed to genuine engagement with Maori, with business and industry, with Pacific peoples, with other groups in our communities, with other education providers, and with our students.
The Charter of New Zealand Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics 2003 outlines the key role we have in the tertiary education system in New Zealand.
Whitireia has grown and developed since its inception, the same values and strategic goals apply across all campuses.
