Congratulations to the students who represented our kura.

Yesterday we participated in the Southern Rangitīkei Kāhui Ako Kapa Haka Cultural festival.  This included Marton, Hunterville, Bulls, Turakina, St Matthews, Clifton and Marton Junction.

We are so fortunate to have the quality of waiata and hāka to perform, enhanced with the beautiful kākahu (costumes) that we have to wear.  Thank you to Rangitīkei College who loaned us their piupiu which our Senior students had the pleasure of also wearing.

The day was wonderful, a celebration of all our tamariki, no matter which school they attend.  We were extremely proud of our students!

As part of our preparations we spent an afternoon at Te Kura Waenga o Tirohanga Monrad Intermediate in Palmerston North. 

It was a privilege to take part in the tutoring session of Ngā Iti Rea Rea, the competitive Kapa Haka group who are currently preparing for their regional competition. Ngā Iti Rea Rea are 5 time Regional Champions and 6 time National Finalists. 

A huge mihi to Whaea Delanie, Whaea Maryanne Kaka and Matua Te Arawa who work with our roopu, supporting them in their mahi.
