We were so proud of both our Middle/Junior and Senior Kapa Haka performances at Polyfest last week. It was the first time that our Middle/Junior team had performed at the Edgar Centre and they certainly 'rose to the occasion.' As always, the senior Kapa Haka performance was of a high standard, with all students great role models for our younger students. Thank you to Lisa Agnew , Alison Tay and Jolene Casey who have worked with the Senior Kapa Haka and Jess Hall and Eve McSoriley for their work with the Middle/Junior Kapa Haka.
