Your  Wharenui comes painted complete with Kowhaiwhai designs that depicts the Maunga  ( Mountains ) and the Wai  ( Water ) and with our carved Pare, Haere Mai Tiki  Waihine ( Door Lintel  ) that represents our Mother who cares and protects us, two upright Amo ( Legs ) carvings , outstretched Maihi  ( Arms ) and carved Raparapa ( Fingers ) either side of your Wharenui which represents those past Tamariki who have gone on before to carve a pathway for a bright and positive future. 

Tiki Koruru

Tiki Koruru (our guardian) is the carved head in the gable. Tiki Koruru looks over our Tamariki .

It is the function of our  guardian figure to assist us in our daily life by guiding us in ways that are leading us to a balance in our lives.

This Taonga (treasure) emphasises the importance of teachings and stories passed down from generation to generation.

Additionally, it reveals the importance of education and knowledge.

Utilising our  potential to learn, grow and develop.
