We are RUAPEHU, the highest mountain in the North Island.
We are represented by blue, the colour of the mountain lake.
Our bird is the Tui and our charity is I Am Hope.
Our whakatauki - Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu
'Adorn the bird with many feathers so it may soar'
By developing as a whole person, we discover our strengths - using our capabilities to support others unites us and makes us stronger.
