The Te Ratana Standard

Ko te pono, te whakaute, te kore taupatupatu.

Character is
Currency.

The Standard is our contract with each other, with the village, and with anyone who lends us their name. Honesty, accountability, uncompromised. Five rules, non-negotiable.

01

Punctuality is professionalism

Ten minutes early. Always.

02

Respect for the craft

Zero ego, high intensity. Work then talk.

03

Academic + family first

Grades and home responsibilities come first.

04

Ownership of the grind

Analyze, adjust, no excuses.

05

Cultural humility

Carry yourself with mana, everywhere.
