We work with schools across Aotearoa to celebrate student achievement.
Prize-givings and Student Gifts.
From custom trophies for end-of-year prize-givings, pendants for every graduate, or a single taonga to honour outstanding individual performance, we can provide something special that will be treasured for years to come.
Our team can supply multiple pounamu or bone pendants for an entire graduating class — for example, a set of 30 toki or koru pendants, or our very popular tumbled stone pendants, each piece representing strength, new beginnings or knowledge.
For schools wanting to honour top students in sport, the arts, academics or leadership, we also offer beautifully carved individual taonga that can be presented with supporting information and optional Ngāi Tahu certification (where available).
School Trophies.
For more formal annual awards, we can design a set of school trophies carved from pounamu and mounted on native timber bases, with the option to engrave panels or include school branding. These pieces are ideal for annual prizes and awards, providing a timeless, culturally grounded alternative to traditional trophies.
If you’re also looking to acknowledge the service of long-standing staff members or principals, we offer a range of options for retirement gifts.

Case Study: St Andrew’s College, Christchurch
Christchurch school St Andrew’s College was looking for a distinctive way to honour students at its annual prize-giving.
In 2024, the STAC team turned to Moko Pounamu to commission the creation of custom-crafted taonga awards that embody its values, celebrated excellence, and conveyed profound gratitude to each recipient.
