Kia ora koutou,

We want to sincerely thank our school whānau, ākonga, alumni and community for reaching out and sharing your thoughts about the proposed changes to Te Tiriti o Waitangi for school boards. Your care, engagement, and support mean a great deal to us.

Wellington East Girls’ College has always been proud of its diversity and inclusive spirit. There was never any question that our board would honour our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This public reaffirmation is not just a statement, it reflects our genuine dedication to upholding these principles in every aspect of our mahi.

Please know that our commitment is heartfelt and ongoing. We will continue to listen, learn, and act in ways that honor Te Tiriti and the values that make our school community so special.

Ngā manaakitanga,

Nicole Rex Taofinu’u
