School Whakataukī

Breens Intermediate —

School whakataukī on our Beautiful Tree of values.

Brave

Titiro atu tō kanohi ki tairāwhiti Ana te rā e whiti rā, ki te ataata ka hinga ki muri ki a Koe.

Turn your face toward the sun and the shadow falls behind you.

Bold

Ko ngā rangatahi ināianei, a, ko ngā rangatira āpōpō. 

The youth of today will be the chiefs of tomorrow.

Brilliant

Mēnā, ka whakapono koe, ka tūtuki koe.

If you believe it, you can achieve it.

Belonging

Mā te tuakana te teina e tōtika. Mā te teina te tuakana e tōtika.

Both Older and younger have valuable knowledge to share.

Beautiful

Kia maumahara ki tōu mana āhua ake.

Cherish your absolute uniqueness.
