You may have recently noticed that our Waihi College logo has been updated. The new logo has been designed to reflect our Tamariki, College Community, and the connection to our place in the world.
Our logo retains the taonga that is our Phoenix embraced by Whare Maia, the heart of our Kura. Our Phoenix represents our students, past, present and future.
Our precious Maunga – Pukewa (Martha Hill), Motukeho (Black Hill), Motumanawa (Union Hill) and Karangahake are represented, alongside our Awa, Ohinemuri.
Our logo’s strapline talks to our spiritual and physical connection to our whenua and our enduring commitment to building meaningful connections with each other.
Please note our transition to our updated logo will happen very slowly over the coming years to avoid any financial burden on our College community, especially with regards to uniforms. The current logo remains in pride and place throughout this period with the updated logo on uniforms not being available until an appropriate point in time in the future. Both logos will sit side by side for a time until the transition is complete
