Waka Ama Term 1

We had the privilege of participating in Waka Ama in Term 1 through Te Runanga o Ngāti Toa’s Nga Kete Aronui team. We had 14 students attend to learn about the tikanga and skills of waka ama, which was a weekly highlight for these groups. A huge mihi to the Nga Kete Aronui team for sharing their expertise and creating such a positive and rich learning experience for our rangatahi!
