We wish our roopu kapa haka all the best as they head to Palmerston North on Monday to compete in National Kapa Haka Kura tuarua. We look forward to seeing all the groups livestream next week.

Te mana o hine-rēhia
Te haka o Tāne rore,
Ka tū te ihiihi,
Ka tū te wanawana,
Ka tū te kapa haka kura tuarua ki Ngāti Rangitāne Kōkiri.

A great Manu Kōrero held this year at Riccarton High School. Te Hinenga Te Hemi placed 2nd in the Senior Korimako english section and a big mihi to our Junior speakers placing 9th in their sections.

We wish our roopu kapa haka all the best as they head to Palmerston North on Monday to compete in National Kapa Haka Kura tuarua. We look forward to seeing all the groups livestream next week.

The kapa haka team will return on Friday 6 July, the last day of term 2, before Uruao Yrs 12 and 13 fly out to Canada on Tuesday 10 July from Christchurch airport. This is to reciprocate the visits from the Blue Quills First Nation people who have visited Te Pā in the past.

A big mihi to everyone for all the efforts to make this trip happen. Te Pā will start back again on Monday 23 July and we look forward to welcoming our new cohort entry Term 3 on this day.

Pononga reports will be out next week whānau and we wish Kōka Ari all the best as she heads back to Waiouru.

I will be with the Kapa Haka group next week, if you have any queries please see Whāea Dot.
Also a big mihi to Whāea Dot who has been doing some excellent work with raising literacy especially reading with our pononga.

Noho ora mai e te whānau,
Tauira Takurua, Kaiurungi.
