Te Onepoto
Haere, mahi kai māu, ka whati te tai, ka pao the tōrea - Go, get food for yourself; the tide ebbs, and the oystercatcher strikes.
Te Onepoto (Tailor's Mistake) is the third landmark our ākonga navigate to on their journey through Sumner School. Te Onepoto houses our ākonga in Years 5 and 6.
