The Mainland Eagles Academy and logo is inspired by a specie of eagle that once lived in New Zealand, called the \u201cHaast\u2019s Eagle.\u201d\u00a0 The Haast\u2019s Eagle only lived on the South Island and were considered to be the equivalent of a lion in New Zealand.<\/p>

The Haast\u2019s Eagle was the biggest, baddest most magnificent eagle ever to have existed in the world. It is known in Maori legend as \u201cPou\u0101kai\u201d and there is little doubt that early settlers would have fallen victim to this most terrifying of aerial predators! In Ma\u0304ori mythology, the pou\u0101kai or poukai is a monstrous bird, and are even depicted in early rock-shelter paintings in South Canterbury.<\/p>

The Mainland Eagles Academy logo represents the Academy being a South Island Regional Academy with the power, strength and majesty of the Haast\u2019s Eagle representing how our athletes train, play and approach life in general.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cI\u2019ve seen improvements in many of the kids I\u2019ve been able to work with. Over time kids develop more confidence in themselves and are open to discussing troubles they may be having in life. I\u2019m excited to continue being a mentor and provide guidance for the kids of Christchurch. \u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t
