Branding, website and student portal for Te Kōpuku High School

Te Kōpuku High School's vision is to develop a generation of Māori students with the self-belief that as Māori, they are capable of designing innovative, sustainable, successful futures for themselves, their communities and the world.

MEA worked with Te Kōpuku High School to design and develop branding, printed collateral website and Whānau portal.

The Project

Te Kōpuku High takes its name from the nīkau palm, the only palm indigenous to Aotearoa, New Zealand. The kōpuku or crownshaft which is the bulge at the base of the leaves, symbolises the role that the school plays in the life of the student as one of the ‘layers of care’. The other layers include the student’s friends, different services, their community and at the core, their iwi , hapū and whānau. Te Kōpuku High forms one of the outer layers which will eventually fall away once the student leaves, having played an important role in the growth of the student.
