Te Ahi Ora Rākau - Wellbeing and Performing Arts Programme

Jacqui Bisley —

Last Thursday and Friday, we were fortunate enough to participate in this programme, learning skills with rākau.

Te Ahi Ora hosted practice lessons teaching students the 8 basic moves and 3 combo moves with the fire sticks. Each group then played a couple of games. No fire was used for these practice lessons. On Friday afternoon students were treated to a fire performance and some students got an opportunity to put the lessons to the test.
