Our Logo Story

Ko Tawatawa pae maunga

Ko Owhiro te awa

Ko Raukawa te moana

Kei Te Whanganui-a-Tara e noho ana

Ko Te Atiawa te mana whenua

Ko Ridgway te kura

Our school pepeha identifies our mountain range as Tawatawa Ridge and this is represented by the ridge line in our logo. It is the ridge on which our school sits. This ridge line runs down towards Raukawa (the Cook Strait) which is identified as our sea in our pepeha. The wind turbine sitting on the ridgeline locates us in Brooklyn. The presence of rangi is an important part of our school identity on the ridge. This is shown by the blue colour of our letter R.
