3. Te Ara o te Wai - the path of the water
   The internal colour scheme of our new kura (school) represents the path of water from the mauka (mountains) to the moana (ocean). Each student will create a piece of bunting to represent one of these aspects. These will be packed away until we are able to display them in our new hallways next year.
   
   Kupu (words) to represent the artwork will be displayed on each piece, for example Haupapa Tasman Glacier, Te Awawhakamau the Tasman River, Roto Pukaki Lake Pukaki, and Waitaki Awa the Waitaki River.
