until the end of the school day.
• Parking on site will be limited.There may be a handful of spaces in the ECE carpark off
Alfriston Road, and a handful off Porchester in the front car park. There is access off the
drive that comes off Porchester Rd.

respect Alfriston College we ask that you do not walk through the school and not interrupt
their learning.

School Vision
Manurewa East School vision is ‘Kore mahi, Kore kai’. Our current school values are Respect for
People (whanaungatanga) Respect for the Environment (Kaitiaki) and Respect for Learning (Ako).
We acknowledge and respect the story of the vision and values and are currently seeking
consultation from our whanau, community, tamariki and our staff for feedback.

Thank you to the parents who completed our survey. These results will help us to formulate and
create our school vision and values.

Parents % Tamariki % Staff %

Respectful 58% Respectful 59% Respectful 72%

Confident 52% Fun 49% Supportive 35%

Attitude 45% Confident 42% Persistence 28%

Given these results we would like to ensure our school vision and values reflect the voices of our
community. A dedicated team will present a number of potential options to the Board of Trustees
using the information gathered through the survey.

Kind regards
