About Toitū Waipapa
Our purpose at the University of Auckland is expressed in our name, Waipapa Taumata Rau, and links to our values and te ao Māori principles.
Waipapa Taumata Rau: Waipapa, the place of many peaks
Pinnacles are the sacred spaces, where the land meets the sky, a place of challenge, achievement and revelation.
Te Mauri, a life principle
Kia whakamana i a tātou is the core principle of Toitū Waipapa. This means we work to uphold the mana and tapu of each other and our place in the world.
