Tena koutou,
Nō Ingarangi, nō Airangi, hoki ōku tūpuna
Ko Ngāti Pākehā te iwi
Ko Mauau te maunga te rū nei taku ngākau
Ko Wairoa te awa e mahea nei aku māharahara
Nō Tauranga ahau
E mihi ana ki ngā tohu o nehe, o Te Kauaeranga e noho nei au
Ko Tumuaki ahau ki te kura o Pārāwai, kei Kauaeranga
Ko Jordan Palfrey ahau
