Te Whai Hiringa has 2 groups of specially chosen leaders from our Māhuri & Taiohi syndicates. Our Māhuri group is known as Ohu Kōkiri & our Taiohi leaders are Ohu Whakaihuwaka. These are students who have consistently shown leadership and initiative throughout their years at Te Whai Hiringa. With this honour comes also responsibility and a commitment to the school and their peers. These students are our role models for our young tamariki and a supporting backbone to our entire school. These students cover duties, help to run and organise school events and house gatherings, represent Te Whai Hiringa when required and demonstrate consistent use of our 3 kete beliefs.
