Its actually pronouced Tea pook eee with three separate sounds. It is is the Maori laguage and just means "the hill".
However, don't let that stop you making barf jokes.

Interesting that one of their major sponsors is Wilson Plumbing Company...

Just reading up on the place, mission statement, curriculum and such leaves me fairly confident no one in my family is smart enough to get in the place as a janitor, much less as a student. Thankfully here in the good old US of A we have public education.

I have got bad news for you Wingnut. This school IS public education in New Zealand. Admittedly it is in a fairly wealthy area, but it is part of our public school system. Any poor kid in Te Puke can go there.

No word on the site about a team mascot. I think a few suggestions are in order. Perhaps the Splatterers? the Chunks?

JustSome Guy :
How about the Hurlers? The Yaks?
Posted by: MikeyVA | July 22, 2012 at 11:37 AM
Hurlers is good! But it won't work for the soccer team.
They probably can't use Yaks; that would confuse broadcasters in the long-anticipated confrontation between Te Puke and Tibetan Steppes H.S.
The Chunks might make the girls' teams feel bad, and the Splatterers will make everyone think they're classic pop singers.
Maybe back to basics: the Loos.
