The gateway welcomes people into our school. Our gateway is made up of stories. Mahehe is the left pillar, he is looking over the river to see who is coming.
Hotumane is the other pillar and he is holding a rope because it is believed that he threw himself over the river by bending back a tree.
The gateway has been at our school for a long time. Last year Mrs Blair, Whaea Robyn and some parents from school helped to paint our gateway.
The face in the middle of the gateway is named Koruru.
Does your school have something old that is special like our gateway?
