Nā Matua LeRoy (Tumuaki)
Mā nga tamariki katoa
Welcome to this place of learning, Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Bernard Fergusson. We are bound by the aspirations embodied in the proverb of Kingi Tawhiao Ngaruawahia is the place where I stand. It was Te Puea who brought this vision to fruition at the time of building a marae for all people.
This kura shelters beneath the prestigious mantle of Turangawaewae Marae and its customary practices, and Te Puea's dictum to work for the betterment of the people.
Potatau is the person of prestige, Taupiri is the mountain, Waikato is the river..
He aha te aha kei BF?

A formal approach was made to Sir Bernard, Governor General of New Zealand and Dependencies 1962 - 1967, to name the school
after him. He agreed on 24th September 1965 and on April 4th 1966 he officially opened Bernard Fergusson School and became its Patron.
Bernard Fergusson School, at the behest of parents and grandparents, translated to Bernard Fergusson Bilingual School in 1986 and to Te Kura Kaupapa Mâori o Bernard Fergusson on 1st February 1993.
