Symbolism
The school carries the ancestral name of Reremoana Te Māhia, the daughter of Te Wirihana and granddaughter of Ihaka Takaanini. Their names are recognized as Wiri and Takaanini locally. Translated, Reremoana means ‘waters flowing to the sea’.[4]
The school's layout is designed to be shaped like a kite, alluding to a local legend of a kite flying competition in which a kite line was severed and drifted away. The owner of the kite was Chief Tamapahore, who had a pā (fortified village) on Matuku-tururu (Wiri Mountain).[5][6]
