Kapa Haka

This year we have had so many students who have shown an interest in Kapa Haka that we have made two groups! Both groups performed at Taatarakihi and did a wonderful job. It was a great day. Taine and Ruth are the leaders of the older group and they did a great job at Taatarakihi. We watched some of the competition groups to see what we are up against when we enter the competition at Puanga next term. We were very fortunate to have some amazing parents, teachers and students who have put in a lot of time and effort into designing and making enough uniforms for the students of both Kapa Haka groups.

LEADERS CONFERENCE

Last Friday a group of students went to the leaders conference in New Plymouth. There were heaps of amazing and inspiring speakers. Brett Mcgregor even showed up and showed us how to make a couple of his favourite dishes. There were fun games and there was dance off between some of the high school students. It was an awesome day and we learnt so much on how to be a great leader.
