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 Whakamutunga
Kua mutu ā mātou mahi mō tēnei wā
Manaakitia mai mātou katoa
Ō mātou hoa
Ō mātou whānau
Āio ki te Aorangi
Our work is finished for now
Protect us all
Our friends
Our family
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!
