student wellbeing

At Crown, we prioritize student wellbeing and offer resources such as counseling, health programs, and support networks. We symbolize our commitment with a korowai, a Māori cloak representing our authority to protect and guide our students.

Korowai

Pilar Sorba Mora is responsible for student wellbeing and careers counselling. Wellbeing at Crown is symbolically represented in a korowai. A korowai is a Māori cloak traditionally worn by Māori chieftains; it signifies authority to guard, govern and guide one’s people.

Crown’s authority to guard, govern and guide our students is encapsulated in our slogan:

Tiaki Tatou
We Care

Whakaako

Hono Tatou

Crown’s korowai of caring, training and connectivity promotes growth by helping students believe in themselves, gaze with hope into the future, and show present respect for others.
