This is the Bucklands Beach Primary School logo. It is the flower of the Pohutukawa tree which is a large tree that grows in coastal areas. The Maori people say that if the Pohutukawa tree flowers before Christmas then we will get a nice long hot summer.
This last Christmas many Pohutukawa trees were flowering early and we did have a fabulous summer. We like to call it "The Christmas Tree". We have many of these trees growing around our school.
