What is a Pou?

 


A Pou is a supportive pole or pillar.  The Poutokomanawa is the centre pole of the meeting house.  Our pou at school were placed in the earth today around our school field.  Our pou represent the four syndicates and their meanings are the poutokomanawa of our school! The syndicate names are from our school logo.  Thank you Mrs Barbara for your guidance and the information about the pou.

Special mention to the amazing helpers who dug the holes and erected the pou.  He mihi nui ki a koutou.
