We are excited to be able to introduce our new school logo. The Arahoe School Tohu will be used in all digital and printed materials from the beginning of
Term 2. You’ll also see new signage appearing around the school in the coming months.
The Māori word ‘tohu’ means “sign, mark, symbol, emblem” (among other things). Our tohu was originally gifted to the school by artist Bill Smith who sadly passed away in 2023. It has been part of our Rōpū Āwhina’s (our Māori support group) identity for a number of years and each element of the design has a particular meaning for our school – this one page summary has more detail about this.

We are excited to be part of a generous fundraising initiative with New World New Lynn. Every time you shop there, New World will donate a small percentage of what you spend back to Arahoe School. Every time you shop, you need to tell the checkout operator that you are part of the Arahoe School fundraiser and they will print you a duplicate receipt. This is the one to post into the box near the exit of the store. Still not sure how it works? This video explains everything!
So remember to tell your friends and family shopping at New World New Lynn to ask for those duplicate receipts to post in our box! Huge thanks to Dave Cullen and the team at New World for this generous initiative.
Haere mai ki a koutou katoa – a warm welcome to Arahoe School.
We are a vibrant and dynamic multicultural school in New Lynn, West Auckland. We like to give our ākonga/students every opportunity to explore, grow and succeed in all areas – not just the core curriculum areas of literacy and maths. We are passionate about science, history, technology and the arts as well as physical pursuits, and our students are given a wonderful variety of contexts in which to find out how to be the best version of themselves. Diversity is welcome here and every student's uniqueness is valued, nurtured and celebrated.
I am lucky enough to work with a team of outstanding educators and support staff, backed by a talented and dedicated School Board.
I look forward to seeing your child, you, and your whānau around our school over your time here.
Ngā mihi nui / warm regards
