Weaver Roka Cameron was approached by centre principal the Rev Dr Graham Redding last year to create the panel.
She enlisted the help of her husband, Kerry, and it took the pair three months to gather and prepare kiekie (a vine plant) from the West Coast and weave it into the "very special" panel.
Being Mr Cameron's first time weaving, he became her student and they had to learn to work together, but, as he was recovering from spinal surgery, the activity was good therapy.
It also linked him back to his whanau: his grandfather, John (Hone) Laughton attended the college.
The three-section panel, which depicts the father, the son and the holy spirit, and features the colour red, representing Papatuanuku (earth mother), and yellow, representing Ra (sun god), was named Te Maungarongo, which means peace and harmony.
Alex Whitaker carved three symbols, a bible verse, a dove and the communion of bread and wine for the panel, while Ricky Ngamoki framed and installed it.
It was blessed and revealed yesterday, becoming the first tukutuku panel to be installed at Knox College.
Dr Redding said it represented the centre's bicultural journey, telling the story of its past and evoking a new design for its future.
