Who are we? We are Whirinaki.
We are Whirinaki’ – a term which, in English, means to support or to depend on. Our kāhui ako name, therefore, reflects our desire to both work towards the values and aspirations of our local community and to support each other as we do so. Our whakatauki “Whirinaki ka eke ki runga” translates as “let us bind together to attain heights” and expresses our desire to work as a community to lift the achievement of all our learners.
Whirinaki logo represents who we are. The sky hawk, named Whirinaki, represents our community of learners flying upwards to attain great heights. Whirinaki is supported by a Manaia, named Kaitiaki, that represents the schools of our Kāhui Ako. Each carved knot of the manaia is one of our schools. The Koru that rests behind Whirinaki and Kaitiaki represents our growth journey and interweaves the mountains, valleys, rivers, creeks and ocean that encompass the geographical area of our Kāhiui Ako.
