Our Tawhirimatea Logo:

Designed by Christibel, Eden, Winston and Iyve.


This logo represents the meaning of Tawhirimatea as an Atua:

  • Nga Hou e wha - the 4 winds

  • The ancestral maunga and tipuna (represented as stars and the Matariki Cluster)

  • Remembering who we are and whee we have come from.

These students are very clever and have thoughtfully designed a moving logo.

You can see this logo on the wall in the hall.
