Te Noho Kotahitanga is our partnership document created in 2001 to express Unitec's commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of New Zealand.  Te Noho Kotahitanga confers equal standing on Māori and non-Māori as described by the principles and values inherent in the agreement. These values are at the very centre of Unitec’s purpose, as stated in Manaakitia te Rito – the Renewal Strategy: Led by Te Noho Kotahitanga; we manaaki the success of our learners and communities.
