Te Piri Mai o Rangi Tikitiki is the pou toka whakairo (stone carving) that sits at the front of our kura, which Charles Matenga (Rangitāne Kaumātua) carved in 2018.

Te Piri Mai o Rangi Tikitiki reflects our tamariki. Encapsulated within the pou is a mauri rock retrieved from Tirohanga. There are three particular designs on the pou that reflect 'mauri', 'mana', and 'Māui'. Those three concepts are essential in planning and delivering teaching, learning, and how we report back to whanau. Māui is a significant tūpuna reflected in the pou because not only can most of our tamariki whakapapa back to Māui, but they all possess characteristics of Māui, which are also now reflected as indicators in our Tirohanga Learner Profile.
