The central element of this icon is two ripples of water that form a koru – symbolic of the intrinsic value of our natural world and its replenishing pure water.

The second element represents the layers of people woven together. It is also the middle ripple – completing the full shape of the droplet, it leads to and supports the growth (koru) of Horoirangi.

Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
E hī ake ana te atākura he tio
he huka, he hauhunga
Haumi e! Hui e! Tāiki e

Cease oh wind from the west
Cease oh wind from the south
May a gentle sea breeze caress the land
Let the red-tipped dawn come with a
sharpened air
A touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day
Tis the celebration of Life
