Membership for schools
The E Tū Tāngata Membership supports schools who want to shift the culture of their school and community. It is also an invitation to be a part of a wider collective effort as we work together to change the culture of Aotearoa New Zealand.
E Tū Tāngata is not a program. Nor is it a magic bullet or a quick-fix.
Instead, E Tū Tāngata is a relational pedagogy; it focuses on the way we ARE rather than following a set of lessons.
It is about authentic and lasting culture change; helping your staff and students to know their worth, succeed together and recognise the value of others.
E Tū Tāngata provides strategic language to help you develop the culture of your school and positively change the mindset of your staff and students. The E Tū Tāngata Membership provides personal support, resourcing, collaboration and training opportunities as well as access to our online resources via the E Tū Tāngata kete.
Changing culture is a slow burn; E Tū Tāngata will take 2-5 years to embed in the school environment.
Over this time, we expect schools to see an increase in:
· Belonging and connection to school
· Positive risk taking
· A growth-mindset and reduced fear of failure
· Quality relationships
· Inclusive and prosocial behaviour

Creating a Culture Shift
E Tū Tāngata does not replace your school values, instead it provides a mindset through which to filter these. We ask: how can any one school value be applied individually (you have value); to those within a class (we succeed together); and to others outside of a group (others matter)?
The E Tū Tāngata mindset filter raises individual self-awareness which in turn creates a collective application of your school values, leading ultimately to a culture shift within your school.

Graeme Norman | Principal | Te Kōmanawa Rowley School
“E Tū Tāngata has proven to be a transformative force at Te Kōmanawa Rowley School, leaving an indelible mark on our students, staff, and the broader community. The powerful messages that we use from E Tū Tāngata has resulted in tangible improvements in academic outcomes, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging among our students.
I wholeheartedly endorse E Tū Tāngata and its mission to create a brighter future for our students and community. (It) has not only made a difference but has set a high standard for initiatives seeking to make a positive impact on the lives of all New Zealanders.”
Rachel Skelton | Principal | Rolleston College
“E Tū Tāngata was a “no brainer” for us as a school. The approach is flexible and provides a common language around calling out tall poppy syndrome. The values of E Tū Tāngata align seamlessly with our school values. The E Tū Tāngata team are fantastic people to work with and have a genuine care for this work. Everything about E Tū Tāngata makes sense for schools and for young people and the way that we should all operate as a society and whilst we are only at an early stage of adoption we are impressed with the impact that this will make for our young people.”
WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY …
The fact is that (Tall Poppy Syndrome) is harmful, kids get this idea that it’s not okay to dream big, and I think it’s that culture kicking in, telling them, you’re not supposed to stand out above your peers. Dreaming is such a basis of everything we achieve, you achieve what you dream for. If you dream mediocre - because that’s what you’ve been taught by everyone else that’s what you’re supposed to do - then all you achieve is mediocre. But so many people could be successful if we didn’t have this culture that told them: ‘No, you can’t.’
Nathan Mikaere-Wallis | Nuero-Science Educator
There’s a saying, ‘We impress people with our abilities but we connect with people through our vulnerabilities.’ This saying really sums up my story … We all have things to offer and for people to be able to tell their stories and know their worth is something I’m privileged to be a part of.
Graham Hoete (Mr G.) | International Artist
It doesn’t matter what I do on the cricket field, and as an athlete, I think that’s a really tough thing to understand because that’s what you’re judged on. I have value as Sophie Devine the person, not Sophie Devine the cricketer … I think E Tū Tāngata is such an important part of breaking down this culture we have in New Zealand around Tall Poppy Syndrome.
