Last Wednesday was our final Kapa haka session with Matua Anton for 2016.

We have been very lucky to have him as our Kaiāwhina for our Senior Team over the past two years and we look forward to working with him again during 2017. I have really enjoyed working with the Year 3 students this year and they are excited to be joining the Senior Kapa haka team next year.

Yesterday a group of our Senior Kapa haka students performed at the Cystic Fibrosis Charity cricket match where the Crusaders will took on New Zealand’s Olympic Invitational. We were very proud of the students (see photos) and the way they performed despite the chilly weather.Ngā mihi o te Kirihimete me te Tau Hou - Season's greetings for Christmas and the New Year.
