PUKEKOHE HIGH SCHOOL WORKS TO STRENGTHEN WAIKATO-TAINUI IWI ALIGNMENTBecause Pukekohe High School is physically positioned within the Waikato rohe, and as a Waikato-Tainui kawenata school we are guided by the tikanga and language protocols of the Waikato-Tanui iwi. This means that we use a double vowel in text to indicate a long vowels sound such as in the words Maaori and poowhiri/poohiri. This is not a spelling mistake but a recognition of our partnership with and respect for the Waikato-Tainui people...... www.pukekohehigh.school.nz/news/pukekohe-high-school-works-to-strengthen-waikato-tainui-iwi-alignment/
