Te whare wananga o Te Maro...

Te Whare Wananga o Te Maro


The whare is based on the shape of person. The top wooden plank is the tahuhu it is the backbone of the whare. Then there’s the wooden planks that come off the back bone they are the ribs in maori heke. The three main iwi’s in New Zealand are ngati ranginui, ngati pukenga and ngai te rangi. Whare’s always face northward or in that direction so that their ancestors faces always face towards the sun. The maori name for our whare is te whare wananga o te maro. The that rope taura that the people on the wood on the front of the whare hold represents every colour of every house in the school.
