Kaua maa te waewae tuutuki, engari maa te upoko pakaru
Persevere with determination; don't be put off by small obstacles

Legend tells us long ago, of a family of whales that became stranded in Tauranga Moana and transformed into three hills; Mangatawa... the mother, Kopukairoa... the father, and Hikurangi... the calf.

Our Koru depicts the waves of Papamoa Beach and our family of legend connecting them to the land and the sea and connecting Whanau and our Tamariki to Papamoa and Tauranga Moana.

We hope that you and your child enjoy our centre.
