The Atawhai design Te Korou represents manaakitanga, whānau and the creation of a safe environment. The two larger koru represent the people coming together and embracing each others energy and wairua. The space in between the koru represents the space where one feels the values of manaakitanga and katiakitanga. The smaller koru speak to the many different roles that whānau play on the creation of a safe environment to openly kōrero and speak up to family issues.
