*Whilst not a direct translation, ‘Pursuit of Excellence’ is a close approximation to Te Ara Poutama. Te Ara Poutama has its origins in Te Ao Māori and references the pathway ascended by Tāne to retrieve the three baskets of knowledge that represent humanity’s consciousness. From a contemporary perspective, Te Ara Poutama serves to inspire a commitment to innovation, excellence, and continuous improvement.
