Pūmanawatanga is the metaphor for our culture or "beating heart" that creates the vibe, the tone, the pulse, the hauora and the energy that is present here at Te Manawa ō Pāpāmoa school.

Pūmanawatanga is visually represented at Te Manawa ō Pāpāmoa by the heart that sits in the middle of our logo. This symbolism connects our people and creates the heart beat or pulse of our kura and āko hapori (learning community).
