What it means to be a Pukeko

Pukeko are very sociable. They live peacefully and work cooperatively to gather food and raise their young. These traits are so important to have in a classroom. We need the Team Pukeko children to demonstrate Pukeko's cooperative skills.

In Team Pukeko, we need each child to be caring and compassionate towards one another and towards other children in the school. Getting on peacefully with each other requires respect and honesty. These are important in Team Pukeko.

Pukeko show our value for persistence and flexibility, as they are among the few New Zealand native birds that have thrived since human arrival. As learners in Team Pukeko, the children need to be persistent in what they do and not give up at the first sign of difficulty. Pukeko learners also need to be flexible and adapt to changes that may occur.
