About Brookfield School
Translation: The village of Manunui.
The land that both the current and new school sites was once a Pā or village. This area extends far and wide around the Ōtūmoetai. This was known as Te Pā o Manunui.
2. The Multitudes of Manu (Birds)
The area is known for the multitudes of native birds that can be found here. We have depicted this meaning through the names of the houses in our kura. Our current hall is also called Manunui.
3. The local hapū story of
Hinawa/ Hinewa
Hinawa (Hinewa) comes from Manunui Pā and Ngāi Tamarawaho. She is the wahine spoken of in the waiata ‘E Rere Te Karoro’ where she loved a man (Hoani/Wani) but their love was not to be. She set forth on a journey from Te Pā o Manunui towards the Waikareao (Estuary).
On her path, a karoro (the black-backed gull) hovered over keeping a safe eye on her.
Other translations:
- Manu - Bird
- Te Karoro - The Black-back gull
Earthworks are underway for the new Brookfield school. Photo: Bob Tulloch/SunLive.Lastly, the name Brookfield would be gifted to any organisation that moves into the site on 20 Millers Road. We have not been told who will move in once we have left the site.
