Ko tā Te Whare Waituhi Tamariki: Storylines, he whakatairanga i te hiranga o te pānui, o ngā pukapuka mā ngā taitamariki, mā ngā taiohi o Aotearoa; he tautiaki hoki i te āheinga o ngā tamariki me ngā taiohi ki te toro atu ki ngā mātātuhi kounga; ka mutu, he tautoko i ngā kaituhi, i ngā kaitā pikitia e mahi ana i roto i te ao mātātuhi taitamariki ki Aotearoa nei. Ko tā mātou e whai nei, ko te whakaohooho i ngā taitamariki o Aotearoa me ō rātou whānau kia whai i te whakamīharotanga o te pānui pukapuka, otirā, ko aua pukapuka mā rātou i hangaia ai e ngā ringa tuhi, e ngā ringa tā o Aotearoa.
