Tiki Taiaha Logo
This is our beautiful mural in the foyer of Rooms 10 and 11. It represents our two e-Learning classes, Year 7 Tikis and Year 8 Taiaha. The words are our School values. The blue and red respectively represent our Maunga Karioi (Rm 10) and Pirongia (Rm 11). It was painted by Matua Brady Walker, a young and talented self taught artist who translated our vision onto canvas - ATAAHUA!

Karioi Team Chant

Karioi classes have been developing chants for our team to deliver at inter maunga (mountain) events, this is just one example of the excellent chants that we are looking at adopting.  The chant was created for Karioi by Whaea Mana in Rm 1 (who incidentally is the "Queen of Chants"), here is her class giving a demo...Nga mihi nu nui Whaea Mana!


Matariki Breakfast 14.6.11

This morning Team Karioi were up nice and early (6am!!) to prepare and celebrate Matariki with a yummy breakfast for staff.  We started with cereal yoghurt and fruit followed by bacon, eggs, spaghetti, baked beans and hash browns.   Many thanks to sponsors Countdown St James; Hillcrest New World; The Warehouse at Hillcrest, Whaea Lacreice and Karioi teachers.  Everyone enjoyed their brekkie and funds were raised for the Christchurch Earthquake appeal. Ka mau te wehi team Karioi!!!
