Reremoana School is a full primary school (years 1-8) in Wattle Downs, Auckland, New Zealand. The school was opened on February 8, 2006. The school enrolment zone encompasses the majority of the Wattle Downs peninsula.
The school currently has 20 classroom spaces, which operate as hubs of two in each team.
Symbolism The school carries the ancestral name of Reremoana Te Māhia, the daughter of Te Wirihana and granddaughter of Ihaka Takaanini. Their names are recognized as Wiri and Takaanini locally. Translated, Reremoana means ‘waters flowing to the sea’.
The school's layout is designed to be shaped like a kite, alluding to a local legend of a kite flying competition in which a kite line was severed and drifted away. The owner of the kite was Chief Tamapahore, who had a pā (fortified village) on Matuku-tururu (Wiri Mountain).
