The Moa

Our values at Inglewood High School take their name from the Moa. Inglewood High School belongs to the learning community Te Kahui Ako o Kōhanga Moa and has strong links with the local Te Kōhanga Moa Marae. The town of Inglewood was formerly known as Moatown, and the moa has been and continues to be a popular symbol for businesses and clubs in Inglewood. This MOA logo and other moa can be seen around the school on posters, flags and murals.
