Haere ra e hika koutou ko o matua
Unuhia i te rito o te harakeke
Ka tu i te aroakapa
Aku nui aku rahi e
Aku whakatamarahi ki te rangi
Waiho te iwi e
Mana e mae noa ...
Farewell oh child to the land of your ancestors
Plucked like the simple shoot of the flax frond
I can still see you in the haka
My beautiful loved child of whom I boasted to the skies
You leave behind your people wailing, bereft.
Mr Amster Reedy (ex Deputy Chair), provided the Māori lament associated with the logo.
The graphic shows new leaf shoots of the harekeke or New Zealand native flax, emerging from the protective outer parent and grandparent leaves. Strong new leaves and flowers grow from the base of the parent and grandparent leaves. These outer leaves provide protection and sustenance for the tender young new fronds, just as family, whanau and society should protect our vulnerable children and youth.
The CYMRC is very proud of the logo, which makes the vision of the CYMRC visible and produces an immediate impact on any documentation from the CYMRC. We believe that it assists in engaging the interest, hearts and commitment of all involved in this process.
The concept was developed by the Committee, who then commissioned a graphic artist to interpret this design into the logo. A Dunedin graphic artist interpreted this brief into the final design seen here. The artist, Allan Hope, was approached via the parents of a child who had died and was willing to produce the design at minimal cost.
