In 2020 Rosehill College underwent a values consultation with the local community, including students, parents and staff. Our chosen school values are: Manaakitanga, Whanaungatanga, Hihiritanga and Rangatiratanga.

Under the umbrella concept of Manaakitanga our key actions are those of respect, responsibility and caring.

Under the umbrella concept of Whanaungatanga our key actions are those of inclusivity, trust and teamwork.

Under the umbrella concept of Hihiritanga our key actions are those of diligence, conscientiousness and resilience.

Under the umbrella concept of Rangatiratanga our key concepts are those of motivation, integrity and excellence.

Our values are powerful ways of being that encompass attitudes and behaviours far more broad than our twelve stated actions. Everything we do needs to align with our values and, as such, these values serve as a reference point for all our policies and procedures.

Our values are expected to be demonstrated by staff and students alike, with kaimahi modelling the standards which we wish our ākonga to aspire to, meet and live.

Our values are illustrated in every classroom and are used at the beginning of all our major school events such Assemblies. Our recognition system is built upon our four values. Our junior school monitoring programme recognises excellence in our core values.

Through living our value we enable our vision: Together we create an environment for personal excellence.
