Over the last few weeks, our junior students have been practicing Tū kaha - the PNBHS Waiata.

VERSE 1:

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi,

engari he toa, he toa takimano.

Mā te kotahitanga e whai kaha ai tātou.

CHORUS:

Tū kaha

Tū maia i te ao huri nei. 

VERSE 2:

Titia ki te rangi

kia purapura tuawhiti.

Ko te pae tawhiti

Whaia kia tata e

Tū whakakake i te a o turoa nei.

CHORUS:

Tū kaha.

Tū maia i te ao huri nei.

English translation

VERSE 1:

Our strength does not come from ourselves alone, our strength derives from the many.

In unity we have strength.

CHORUS:

Be strong.

Be brave in this changing world.

VERSE 2:

Pierce the sky so that you may shine.

Seek out distant horizons and cherish those you attain.

Stand tall and proud in this enduring world.

CHORUS:

Be strong.

Be brave in this changing world.
