The Story behind the Design
The design of Rau Papa represents:
The whakapapa of mana whenua,
The whakapapa of ahikā and the diverse kaitiaki of the land,
And finally, Rau Papa represents the aspiration of continued growth and strength of whakapapa, well-being and abundance of the South Waikato community.
