Learning Ko Pakuranga with Our Buddy Class


We met with our senior buddy class to practice our school song, Ko Pakuranga, on Friday. AS1 has been having a wonderful time practicing our pronunciation and rhythm with the older students!

Check out our pictures, and if you don't know the lyrics we posted them for you below!



Thanks so much for all of your help, Room 19!










Kia Kotahi ai tatou
No nga hau e wha tatou i tenei kura
Kia whai ake nga moemoea
Kia tu kaha i roto i o tatou hiahia
o tatou hiahia

Ko Pakuranga
to tatou kura
Ko Pakuranga
whai matauranga

He kakano ahau
Tipu haere i a rā,  i a rā
Kaore mātou e mutu i te akonga
Hei tauira, ki a tātou e, ki a tātou e…

Tēnei rā te kaupapa,
Awhinatia rā
Tautokohia rā

Ko Pakuranga tō tātou kura
Ko Pakuranga, Whai matauranga
Ko Pakuranga tō tātou kura
Ko Pakuranga, Whai matauranga......

Whitiwhitia ki te totara e........

    1. Hello Mrs. Burton,
      Thank you for your comment. Your students were really helpful because they repeated the words many times and we were able to copy what they said. Did your class enjoy teaching us the words?

      We did have a fantastic time! We have not memorised the lyrics yet, but we are hoping that with more practice we will know it off by heart soon.
