Taku Pepeha

Kia ātea taku pepehā

Tāi a ki te rangi

Ki ngā rarangi tīpuna

E tiro iho nei

Ko Kaukau te maunga

Ko Korimako te awa

Mai i te wao nui o uta

Ki tai ko Pōneke

He taonga te kura

He kura te tangata

Ko Marae Roa o Khandallah

E mihi atu nei

He taonga te kura

He kura te tangata

Ko Marae Roa o Khandallah

E mihi atu nei

(Wahine) E mihi,

(Tama) e mihi!

(Koutou) e mihi.

TRANSLATION

The school is a gift, our people are precious...

My proverb ascends

Carving the sky above

To the lines of our ancestors

Who watch over us

Kaukau is the peak

Korimako is the stream

From inland forests

To the sea is Wellington

Our school is a gift

Our people are precious

It is Marae Roa o Khandallah

That greets you all

(Girls) Greetings, greetings

(Boys) Uphold and affirm, kss hi auē hi!
