Te whare wananga o te maro
In the whare the piece of wood going down the middle in the roof is called the Tahuhu or Backbone and the wood going from the roof to the top of the wall is called the Heke or Ribs.
On the carving outside in the middle are the 3 iwi and the coloured rope going up is each colour of each house in the school.
