Pō Whakanuia is an acknowledgement of those students who have shown outstanding commitment to Paihere Rangatiratanga (student leadership), kapa haka, and academic achievement in te reo Māori.

​

Pō Whakanuia also recognises students who have consistently demonstrated our core values of whai koha (courtesy), ū ki ngā kaupapa (commitment), pākiki (curiosity) and tangata māia (courage). These values are an intergral part of Te Ao Māori and are practised through tikanga.
