Ko Wai Mātou?
Who are we?
Our school is represented by all descendants of Apanui Ringamutu who is the founding ancestor of our Iwi Te Whanau-a-Apanui. Combining all 13 Hapu tribes throughout our Rohe we carry the strong name that identifies who we are as a Iwi and how proud we are to be called Te Kura o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui.
Ngā Hapū o Te Whānau-ā-Apanui
Our 13 Hapu that make us who we are. Starting from Hāwai to Potaka.
Haraawaka, Hikarukutai, Tutawake, Nuku, Rutaia, Hīnetekahu, Te Ēhutu, Kaiaio, Kahurautao, Maruhaeremuri, Pararaki, Kauaetangohia and Tapaeururangi.
