Nurturing the Mana of the Learner
Kia Mau te Puawaitanga o to Mana
 

Shannon School was founded in 1889 and is situated in the Horowhenua area, between Palmerston North and Levin. Our school values the connection to the rural community which is reflected in our Enviro School programme.
 
Active links with local iwi/hapū Ngāti Whakatere are supported throughout the school and board decisions. Our school’s motto ‘Kia Mau te Puawaitanga o to Mana - Nurturing the Mana of the Learner', is prioritised across our school.

 

Ko Tainui te Waka

Our Shannon School Logo talks about who we are and what we represent. The Pae Maunga Tararua on the Shannon School Logo are a very special part of our area.

Ko Tararua te Maunga

From the Tararua Maunga and the peak of Te Ao Kaparangi flows the waters that feed our Manawatū awa. 

Ko Manawatū te Awa

These waters also feed the Harakeke that thrive in this area.

Ko Te Awahou te Moana

Kia mau te puawaitanga o to Mana Nurturing the Mana of the learner. The Harakeke plant represents our whānau and the very important people in our lives. The outer leaves of the Harakeke represent our elders and the inner leaves are us and the new generation. 

Tēnā Kautou Katoa

Ka pu te ruha ka hao ngā rangatahi.
