This logo was designed to represent our service. The two koru within each kowhaiwhai are representative of Te Ira Atua and Te Ira Tangata.
The three inner kowhaiwhai patterns represent the mana, mauri and tapu inherent in every person because of their connection with Te Ira Atua.
The three external koru represent the principles of pono, tika and aroha.
Pono requires telling the truth. The process of telling the truth should be tika, the truth should be told the right way. Aroha is the reason truth is told, a genuine feeling of compassion and regard should underpin all messages of truth.
To be pono in a tika way, using aroha, will enable the mana, mauri and tapu of people to be nurtured and strengthened.
Rangataua Mauriora is committed to strengthening the mana, mauri and tapu of tamariki, rangatahi and their whanau by adhering to the principles of pono, tika and aroha.

Mauriora, or toiora, is one of a number of Maori terms for wellbeing/wellness of both the collective and the individual. It is regarded as the maintenance of balance between wairua (spiritual wellbeing), hinengaro (intellectual wellbeing), ngakau (emotional wellbeing) and tinana (physical wellbeing).
Mauriora is sustained by experiences of:
Ihi - being enraptured with life
Wehi - being in awe of life
Wana - being enamoured with life
Wehi - being in awe of life
Wana - being enamoured with life
