This is a historic win for our combined HBHS and HGHS Kapa Haka group.

Congratulations to Te Maurea Whiritoi on their achievement in being named the champion kapa haka group at the 2023 Waikato Tainui Secondary Schools' Kapa Haka Festival, for the first time in our schools' history. We are beyond proud of this achievement. A massive thank you to Matua Toti West, Whaea Frankie West and their respective teams for their efforts in composing the performance material, and tutoring, mentoring and leading our Kapa Haka students. This success would simply not have occurred without their guidance and commitment to Te Maurea Whiritoi, which has been ongoing for over a decade. Kia kaha!
