Ko Hikurangi te maunga
Ko Taumārere te awa
Ko Ngāpuhi te iwi
Ko Ngāti Hine te hapu
Ko Te Toka Whakakotahi te marae
Ko Kawiti te tupuna
Tena koutou e ngā whānau, nau mai ki te Tari Māori, kei raro i te maru o Te Toka Whakakotahi, tēnā rā koutou katoa.
We are the Māori Department of Bay of Islands College. Within our department is our Reorua Unit, Te Whare o Tōtara. Our whakataukī is 'Aroha tētahi ki tētahi' - be good to each other. We strive for academic and cultural excellence, 'ko te ringa ki ngā rākau a te Pākehā, ko te ngākau ki ngā taonga a ō tātou tūpuna.'
