Kaupapa
Our kaupapa relates to the values and principles we wish to foster within the Hawkes Bay Youth Theatre
whanau.
We ask that you contribute to nurturing these values, so that HaBYT can continue as an integrated and happy community.
Whakaiti - Humility. Striving to lift others up while graciously and quietly receiving praise or encouragement. Abstaining from boasting or dominating the space (‘soaking up the oxygen’).
Whanaungatanga - Fostering the sense of deep and authentic connection, creating a close knit family within the whole. Inclusive of everyone.
Kaitiakitanga - The notion of the long journey, with a clear direction but the need for patience when waiting for results. Preservation and care for the collective future generations.
Manawanui - To be consistent, committed, courageous. Committing to creative exploration with courage, maturity and genuine curiosity.

May peace be widespread
May the seas be like greenstone
A pathway for us all this day
Let us show respect for each other
For one another
Bind us all together!
