New logo in school rebranding

Our new vision is coming to life with our new logo. Last year, we shared with our community and students our new school vision which centres around the characteristics of the kuaka (Godwit). The kuaka is a small coastal bird which travels great distances across the world. Every Spring, the kuaka depart from their breeding nests in the great Siberian and Alaskan tundra and return to the rich feeding grounds provided by Aotearoa’s tidal flats and coastal marshes. Each year, approximately 7,000 kuaka come to the shores of Ōmokoroa.

To be successful, kuaka need to be both mentally and physically prepared and continually develop skills and knowledge to navigate their world. It is these qualities that we aim to continue developing and nurturing in all members of our school community throughout their journey at Ōmokoroa Point School.

Inspiring and supporting our learners to achieve great things collectively while also having the ability to power their own flight, we embody the characteristics of the kuaka: thinker, citizen and navigator. We locate our learning in our local environment and beyond, nurturing today, empowering tomorrow.

We have been working with a graphic designer to create a new school logo which reflects our school vision. We are pleased to be able to share this with you at the start of our school year. You will see this logo on our communications, around the school, and we’ll soon have a new school sign. We will work through the process of designing new school hats and shirts. We will let you know when these are available. We have a very limited stock of our current shirts. If your child does not have a school hat, they can wear another wide-brimmed hat this term. We know that there will be a transition period of children growing out of their current shirts and hats. There will not be a need for everyone to immediately replace the existing items as we do not want to place any unnecessary costs on families.
