OUR INTERWOVEN TOHU.
A Symbol of Strength and Togetherness.
“Ehara taku toa i te
toa takitahi, engari
he toa takitini”
Success is not the
work of an individual,
but the work of many.
Visually, the three elements that make up our interwoven tohu can be represented as a maunga (mountain), whare (house/building) and moana (sea), all of which hold significant cultural, spiritual, and communal importance to us as an
organisation, and North Harbour as a region.
Ko Takarunga te Maunga.
Maunga are not just physical landmarks but are deeply integrated into the
identity, beliefs, and practices of Maori.
Takarunga or Mount Victoria was an important Maori pa site for many
years with terracing and kumara pits still visible. To Harbour Sport, the tihi (summit) of this Maunga holds great spiritual and cultural significance and
has always been a place to be treated with respect and reverence.
Ko te Whare
hakinakina o Te Raki Paewhenua te whare.
The whare is not only a physical structure but also a symbolic representation of our identity, and social connections.
Te whare hakinakina o Te Raki Paewhenua hosts
community spaces, oratory, and leadership situations along with learning and education opportunities, which creates a sense of belonging for our kaimahi and wider community.
Ko Waitemata te Moana.
The history of the Waitemata Harbour is
deeply intertwined with the ancestral settlement, resource utilisation, and
cultural practices of our tupuna.
Like Harbour Sport, the harbour has evolved over time, reflecting both Maori
and European influences on the region.
Kaitiaki
Kaitiaki reflects the idea of looking after something for the well-being of present and future generations.
Our kaimahi recognise the connection of our work with the well-being of the whenua (land), the tangata (people), and the cultural heritage that shapes our identity.
We strive to be responsible guardians of the resources entrusted to us; through being service providers, educators and engaging in sustainable practices.
We make a commitment to collaborate with local partners, engage in open dialogue with community members, and promote initiatives that align with the principles of Tiaki.
