Katikati College hosted the BOP Invitational Ki o Rahi Tournament in November.

This traditional Māori game is based on the Purakau (legend) of Rahitutakahina and the rescue of his wife Tiarakurapakewai. The tākaro is a reflection of Tupuna story telling at its best, as well as provides an insight into the way in which they would explain and design Tākaro to reflect their unique "world view". The Papa Tākaro (field) layout of Ki o Rahi and the way the Tākaro is played is a perfect example of this. Nearly 25 games were played over the day, with the grand final being won by Te Wharekura over Katikati College, with a score of 15-2.
