Taonga | treasures come in many forms. You are a taonga.

This week 8AM have been making their own taonga out of clay.

Students picked taonga shapes that best represented themselves. Kei chose to make the Manaia hook. The fish hook signifies abundance, nourishment and strength. As such it attracts the energies of peace, prosperity and good health. A fishhook is a symbol that provides safe journey over water. Therefore it is considered a good luck charm by travelers and seafarers. This shape is named ‘Flow of Mana'.
