"The Whānau Waiora promotes supportive, consultative and representative relationships between parents and the school. The monthly meetings and regular reviews ensure that these relationships are effective and pro-active. The involvement of three kaumatua, together with senior management and guidance staff, adds to the dimension of the Whānau Waiora." - ERO Report June 2004

This House activity is always keenly contested as it is a good measure of house spirit. The invited judges are keen to lend a hand at school. The only real quality needed to be a judge is, "good school spirit."

Who are we creating this heavy sound
We are the descendents of our elder, Taranaki
Like our mountain we must hold fast the treasures
of a true champion
Where is the influence?
Where is the pride?
Together we gather and stand to preserve these strengths
