Whakatauakī“Kotahi te Kōhao o te

Ngira e kuhuna ai te miro mā, te miro pango te miro whero. A muri kia mau ki te whakapono, kia mau ki

ngā ture, kia mau ki te aroha.”

nā Pōtatau Te Wherowhero

There is but one eye of the needle through which must pass the white thread, the black thread and the red thread. Hold fast to faith, hold fast to the laws, hold

fast to the love.
