What it means to be a Pukeko

Pukeko are very sociable. They live peacefully and work co-operatively to gather food and raise their young. These traits are so important to have in a classroom. We need Team Pukeko children to show the cooperative skills of Pukeko.

In Team Pukeko, we need each child to be caring and compassionate towards each other and 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 of persistence and flexibility as they are among the few New Zealand native birds that have thrived since man's arrival. As learners in Team Pukeko, the children need to be persistent in what they are doing and not give up on the first sense of difficulty. Pukeko learners also need to be flexible and adapt to changes that may occur.
