School song - Ko Pukekaroro

Here is a clip of our tamariki singing our tonga waiata gifted to us by Mina Paikea.
To watch our song live, attend our local Kapa Haka Festival.

Kō Pukekaroro te maunga
Kō Kaipara te mōana
Kō Mahuhu-ki-te-rangi te waka
Ngā iwi e
Kō Rongomai te tangata
Pukana te tangata
Kō Ngāti Whātua te iwi
Kō te uri o hau te hapu
Ngā iwi e
Kō Pokopoko te tāniwha hē
Kia kōtahi te hikoi
Ngā iwi e
O Aotearoa
