The logo design is based on the beautiful and distinctive tail feather of the huia bird.
Te Kura Mareko means ‘the precious feather of the huia’. Our students at Casebrook are precious and just as the huia feather was worn by Māori leaders, it is used here to signify Casebrook Intermediate’s leadership in quality education for the emerging adolescent.
The symbol is split into two sides to represent the Year 7 and 8 students at our school. The shape of the huia feather emphasises the emerging nature of these students as they enter their teenage years. There are three large koru along with the three smaller koru representing the three core values that support our students along the way. The two koru at each junction symbolise the support given to students by staff and whānau as they grow in their learning. The three sets of koru also represent the support that Casebrook Intermediate offers in relation to the physical, emotional and academic needs of the emerging adolescent.
