Our logo 

Our logo was designed to reflect our vision and values. It takes its inspiration from images of Aotearoa viewed from a distinctly Te Ao Māori perspective.

  • Like the pitau of a new fern we will grow strong.
  • Like the fluid movement of water we will adapt as the needs of our people and our environment change.
  • Like the eye of the kārearea we will have clarity of purpose.
