E Te Atua
Manaakitia mai a matou i tenei ra
Me o matou hoa e noho nei o ratou kainga,
Me nga hohipera,
Me nga kohanga, me nga kura katoa.
Awhinatia maatou i a matou mahi I te kura o Te Kopuru.
Ki a tau mai a tatou
Te Aroha, te Tika me te Pono.
I raro i to ingoa tapu.
Amine.
Dear Lord

And our friends in their homes, hospitals,
playcentres and schools.
Support us here in our work at Te Kopuru School.
Give us love, honesty and truth.
We ask this in your name.
Amen.
