The Tinopai School logo concept was developed by the students of Tinopai School in early 2020.

​

The key kaupapa acknowledges te rohe o Te Uri o Hau and embraces Tinopai School's core curriculum subjects: our 'Tinopai' environment. It serves as a reminder to all of us in our role as kaitiaki (guardians) of our taonga in Kaipara - ahakoa he iti, no matter how small - and all of its natural resources. 

​

The logo depicts the seed as our foci, symbolic of each of our students, and our intent to support their education pathway with the tools they need to flourish in their life journey.  

​

The rising of the sun encourages learning aspirations for each day. The pohutukawa, with its striking red flowers, transcending boundaries, all the while, its roots remaining steadfast while it grows along the coastline in Tinopai. The arteries of the Arapaoa connecting with the Northern Wairoa rivers to the entrance of the Kaipara harbour, and the expansive ocean beyond.

​

The concept was digitised by Cassidy Makiha (Te Uri O Hau, Te Mahurehure).
