This was a new school to replace the old Kokako school and Tuai school. It consisted of two standard classrooms and one total immersion room plus library and administration. The shape is loosely based on a "taniwha" which as legend has it raise the nearby Lake Waikaremoana. The Admin is the head, the classrooms the body with the immersion room at the heart. The verandah forms a tail which catches all the rain water and deposits it in a rock filled sump. Therby collecting and creating the water that made the lake. The roof is from steel tiles to emulate the scales of a taniwha.
