Remember a pepeha is how you introduce yourself and where you are from in  Te REO

Here it is:

Ponsonby Primary School Pepeha

Whakataukī - Maori Proverb: Whaia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me maunga teitei.

Meaning: Pursue that which is precious and do not be deterred by anything less than a lofty mountain. This is a proverb that encourages us to strive, to set goals, to preserve by setting our sights high and to not give up on them for anything.

Ko Te Koraenga te maunga  The Headland is our mountain

Ko Waitemata te moana      The Waitemata is our ocean

Ko Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi te waka   Mahuhu ki te rangi is our canoe  

Ko Ngāti Whātua te iwi        Ngati Whatua is our tribe

Ko Te Rimu Tahi te kura       Ponsonby is the name of our school

Kia U, Kia Pono                     Steadfast and true
