Ko te Pepeha o Kaurirahi

Ko Titirangi te maunga
Ko Te Wao Nui a Tiriwa te ngahere
Ko Manukau te moana
Ko Waikūmete te manga
Ko Te Kawerau ā Maki te iwi
Ko te wharekura te marae
Ko Ōkaurirahi te kura
Te whakataukī tērā
Ko Whaiā te Mātauranga
E tu pakari ana
E totoro teitei ana

Haumi e!
Hui e!
Taiki e!
