Our Crest & Motto
At Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School (PNINS), we place great importance on our past, our present and our future. We believe that our crest and motto honour where we have come from, celebrate where we are now, and welcome where we are headed.
Our school motto is ‘Haere Ake Ra’, meaning; ‘Onwards and Upwards’. This motto was suggested by historian James Cowan in 1940, and is worn by our school with pride. Our school crest reflects the special character, culture, and uniqueness of PNINS.
Our crest is made up of the lamp and the wave. The lamp symbolises knowledge, and the lighting up of the path of learning. The wave represents the Manawatu River; a landmark that is very important to both Palmerston North and the Rangitane iwi.

Come along and enroll in this fun and varied course with the goal of starting to communicate in colloquial French and to develop foundational skills in French. Learn to introduce yourself in French, use functional language for a variety of situations, and experience French cultures such as wine.
At EarthDiverse, we believe that language is culture, and there is no true understanding of other cultures unless we make an effort to learn non-English languages.
Learn this beautiful language and prepare for further study or travel. Suitable for complete beginners and those with some basic French.
We offer GROW programmes, immersion opportunities as well as the French National Language Adviser who can work with your school to help strengthen the teaching of French. We also have close relationships with the New Zealand Association of French Teachers(NZAFT) as well as the French Embassy.
Languages lead on to a wide variety of tertiary courses and jobs in commerce, tourism, education, media industry and any positions requiring advanced communication skills. A second language is becoming more beneficial when applying for jobs. There are opportunities to travel to French speaking.
