Papakura High School
- The school was established in 1954
- The school is organised into three wh??nau: Kirikiri, Te Ap??rangi, and Otuuwairoa
- The three wh??naus were named after historic places in the Papakura area, which are locations of importance within the rohe of the local iwi. These three wh??nau replaced the school's old house structure at the beginning of the 2017 school year.
- Also in 2017, the school changed its school motto to Kia Rangatira. This whakatauk?? (Maori maxim) signifies a call to the young to step up as leaders. In Maori culture, it is a challenge to take on a chiefly demeanour in behaviour and attitudes, rangatira meaning high ranking, chiefly, noble, esteemed, in te reo #papakura #school
