Pono ki te kaupapa, Puna ko te Reo

Te Kōrero Matakite (vision statement, our logo, symbolises what we are about)

Te Arā Whānui
Kura Kaupapa Māori
O Ngā Kohanga Reo
O Te Awa Kairangi


Pono ki te Kaupapa, Puna ko te Reo
(be true to the Kaupapa and Te reo will forever flourish)


The key elements of this vision statement signifies that:


The child is embedded and embraced into this world by a mother.
A nurturer of language, of tradition, of love, of knowledge and hope.

The widening pathway is a symbol of growth, from the womb to the awakening of the new and changing world and the opening of the doors and windows to life long learners
Nā Richard Ratana i hanga i Kokiri Marae 1995

Nā Millie Te Maro rāua ko Richard Luke i tapa ingoa i 1995

The Kura name is to be written in 4 lines to ensure that the meaning of the Kura is clearly understood. It is also important to know that all Kura Kaupapa Maori are to be known as Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o.....however, since the beginning, our Kura is known as Te Ara Whanui first in recognition of the Kura Te Ara Whanui at Kokiri Marae
