Ngaa Paki o Matariki
Congratulations to Te Kapa Haka o te Kura Nui o Rototuna for their performance at Ngaa Paki o Matariki (Tainui Regional Kapa Haka Competition). Competition was fierce, so we were so proud when overall our rōpū placed third in the waiata tira.
Thank you to all the people who supported our rangatahi on the day and to those who dedicated their time and shared their expertise over the many months it takes to prepare for such an event.
‘Ngaa Paki o Matariki’ is an empowering celebration of Matariki for Hamilton City and the surrounding areas of Tainui rohe. The festival connects the two largest kaupapa biennial Māori events for Tainui rangatahi: the Tainui Secondary Schools Manu Kōrero, and Kapa Haka Competitions.
