5. The special characteristics of Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Te Hiringa are:
Ko te tino hiahia o te whanau ko te poipoi i te tamaiti; kia rangona tona ihi, tona wehi, tona tapu; kia tipu tona mana me tona rangatiratanga; kia tu pakari, tu rangatira ia hei raukura mo tona iwi.

? Development of te reo Maori.
? Building an awareness of their own whakapapa, whanaungatanga and iwi heritage.
