RAKAMAOMAO | South Hornby School
Our newly completed build at SHS is based on the idea of two teaching hubs encompassing a central creative space.
The two areas reflect the school’s cultural narrative through colour.
Te Māuru-e-taki-nei (Nor-West) reflects the hot, dry winds of summer. Red tones in the walls and koru carpet motifs face the prevailing Nor’West, celebrating energy and movement.
Pūnui-o-toka (Southerly) embodies the cold winds of winter – a space for reflection as students prepare to take flight. Blue interiors honour the seniors, positioned as kaitiaki and rangatira at the front of the school.

RAKAMAOMAO | South Hornby School
The new teaching hub at South Hornby School is named after the winds from the North and South, Rakamaomao symbolises adaptability and connection.
It sits within a whakapapa of four winds already present at Te Manu Tukutuku, linking this new space to the wider school environment and its stories.
The name for the building itself; Te Manu Tukutuku was gifted by Ngai Tahu and means “The Kite” used for sending messages in this area.

Construction at our Sumner Passive House is coming together with the installation of Abodo Shingles & Thermadura triple glazed windows.
