Kaupapa o Te Pouahi

Ka poipoia, ka noho haumaru ngā tamariki o te āo Māori me ōne tikanga

Mā te reo me onā tikanga ka whanake i te āo o naianei

Kia whakatinanahia ngā wawata, moemoeā ā ngā tipuna

Kia tipu, kia rea, kia panuku ki angitū

Mokopuna are nurtured in a safe environment to achieve educational success in a Māori setting

Through Māori language and cultural practises mokopuna are grounded in today’s ever changing environment

The dreams and aspirations of our ancestors are realised

To grow, to flourish, to succeed

Mokopuna o Te Pouahi

E kai ngākau ana ahau ki tōkū tūākiri

Ka tū ahau hei ranga i ngā tira

Ka tū ahau hei kaitiaki

Ko mātou ko Te Pouahi he whānau kōtahi

He kaitiaki ahau mō te Āo tūroa

I care for my language and culture

I am a leader

I care for others

I am part of our whānau

I care for our world
