Year 9 Haka Challenge

Congratulations to all of our Year 9 students who competed in the annual Haka Challenge earlier this term. The outstanding performances and high level of competition showed the commitment and dedication that had gone into learning the school haka.  

Kua tū rangatira koe, hei raukura mō tō tātou kura (You stood like a champion for our school)
