Karakia Timatanga 

E te whānau

I tēnei rā i te kura o Ōmakau

Ka eke panuku tātou katoa

Ki tō tātou ake taumata

Mauri tau

(Acknowledging that the school are family)

During this day at Ōmakau School

We will all succeed

To our personal best

To be relaxed and deliberate (in all that we do)

Karakia Mutunga

Kua mutu o mātou mahi

Mō tēnei wā

Manaakitia mai mātou katoa

O mātou hoa

O mātou whānau

Aio ki te aorangi

Our work has finished

for the moment

Bless us all

Our friends

Our families

Peace to the universe

Karakia Timatanga 

Whakataka te hau ki te uru

Whakataka te hau ki te tonga

Kia mākinakina ki uta

Kia mātaratara ki tai

E hī ake ana te atakura

He tio, he huka, he hau hu

Tīhei mauri ora!

Get ready for the westerly

and be prepared for the southerly.

It will be icy cold inland,

and icy cold on the shore.

May the dawn rise red-tipped on ice,

on snow, on frost.

Join! Gather! Intertwine!

Karakia Timatanga 

Anei taku mana,

taku hūmārie,

taku whakaaro nui.

Anei taku harikoa,

taku waiaro pai,

taku hiahia ki te ako.

Anei taku aroha,

taku wana me taku manawanui

He rangatira ahau.

Tīhei mauri ora.

Here is my mana, my gentleness, my thoughtfulness.

Here is my happiness, my best attitude, my desire to learn.

Here is my compassion, my energy and patience, I am a rangitira

Karakia Timatanga 

Whakataka te hau ki te uru

Whakataka te hau ki te tonga

Kia mākinakina ki uta

Kia mātaratara ki tai

E hī ake ana te atākura

He tio, he huka, he hau hū

Tīhei mauri ora

Cease the winds from the west

Cease the winds from the south

Let the breeze blow over the land

Let the breeze blow over the ocean

Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air

A touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day!
