Karakia
Kia hora te marino
Kia whakapapa
pounamu te moana
Hei huarahi ma tatou I te rangi nei
Aroha atu, aroha mai
Tatou i a tatou katoa
Maypeace be widespread
Maythe sea be like greenstone
A pathway for us all this day
Let us show respect for each other
Aha koa Iti noa Te awhina Ma te aroha E whakanui No reira e hoa ma Kia ora ra.E te atua Manaakitia matou Arahina matou I a matou mahi i tenei ra I runga i tou ingoa tapu Amine

Tahuri mai I to matou karanga
Hine purotu hine ngakau
Hine rangimarie
Ko te whaea
