School Waerea
Our waerea allows our students, staff, whānau and community to reconnect to the energies in our environment that help support us on a daily basis. The words composed are connecting, supporting, and uplifting to ensure that we take care of our mental, physical and spiritual well being while we learn.
Our waerea was written and gifted to us in 2023 by our Year 12 students from Puutake te Wāhanga Māori and unites us as a kura.
Waerea ā Kura
Waerea te rangi e tū iho nei
Waerea te papa e takato nei
Waerea te pou o te taiao a rangi
Waerea te pou o te taiao a nuku
Paihere nei te tai whenua ki uta
Paihere nei te tai moana ki tai
Unuhia taku hinengaro kia wātea
Unuhia taku manawa kia wātea
Unuhia taku tinana kia wātea
Unuhia taku wairua kia wātea
Kia mahea, kia puta ai au, ki te whai ao ki te ao mārama
Uhia mai te korowai atawhai,
ki runga ki ēnei pākeke,
ki runga ki ēnei taura,
ki runga ki ēnei tauira
Whāno, whāno, hara mai te toki
Haumie, huie, tāiki e…
Waerea Hīmene
Waerea i runga, waerea ki te rangi e tū iho nei
Waerea i raro, waerea ki te papa e takoto nei
Waerea te ara whakawātea kia mahea noa
Kia tau te mauri tapu ki te katoa
Ūhia mai rā te korowai manaaki atawhai
Kia hohou mai rā te rongo ki runga ki te whenua
Paiherehia, paihere ki te ira tangata
Ira atua, ūhi wero waerea
Tākina te mauri, te mauri oho o taku hinengaro
Mauri tapu manawa, mauri tapu tinana, tapu wairua e
Hikitia taumaha, whakawātea, kia mahea noa
Kia tau te mauri tapu ki te katoa
Ūhia mai rā te korowai manaaki atawhai
Kia hohou mai rā te rongo ki runga ki te whenua
Paiherehia, paihere ki te ira tangata
Ira atua, ūhi wero waerea
