Our Vision
At Mount Maunganui Primary School, we endeavour to provide rich learning opportunities that connect our tamariki to our rohe through local waiata and pakiwaitara. Our Mounties have a strong sense of belonging and a strong sense of self.
“I know who I am and where I come from.”
“I know the history of this place I call home.”
Kapa haka
We believe being part of a rōpū kapa haka gives our Mounties the opportunity to develop their confidence in performing in front of an audience. Kapa haka teaches our tamariki the importance of Aumangea – persisting at an activity that is new and challenging, and develops Mahi Tahi – working together and being a part of a team.
All of our learners have the opportunity to experience kapa haka.

E Hika Tū Ake
The story of Mauao
E hika tū ake
Ki runga rā whitiki taua
Hei tama tū
Kumea ki te uru
Kumea ki te tonga
Hiki nuku
Hiki rangi
I arā rā
Ka ngarue, ngarue
Toia ki te hau marangai
Kia whakarongo e
Taku kiri i te kikini a te rehutai
0 ngā ngaru whatiwhati
E haruru mai nei
Wī wī wī
Wā wā wā
Horahia ō mata ki-a Mere Tū ahiahi e
Hei taki i te ara ki-a Tangaroa
He atua hāo i te tini ki te pō
E kokoia e ara e
Papaki Tū Ana
Papaki tū ana ngā tai ki Mauao
i nekeneke hia, i nukunuku hia
I whiua reretia e Hotu,
a Wahinerua ki te wai,
ki Tai wi wi, ki Tai wa wa,
Ki te whaiao ki te ao mārama
Tīhei, mauri ora
