Sneak Preview of our upcoming Polyfest Performance!

The Tuakana Roopū have been doing such a fabulous job with their haka and waiata learning in their sessions with Whaea Sue. The children are looking forward to showcasing their learning on the big stage at Polyfest next week. Their performance at Polyfest will pay respect to te haerenga o ō tātou tīpuna ki Aotearoa. The voyage of our ancestors to New Zealand, and our good life shared here together. 

 

Tikanga Wakari Perform for our school - 2021

 

Our Kapa Haka Groups in Action!

We are so lucky to have Whaea Sue lead our Kapa Haka learning. Our enthusiastic students are doing a fabulous job of learning new waiata and haka in these sessions! 

Did you know that we have TWO Kapa Haka groups at Wakari School? Our Middle and Senior syndicate children form our Tuakana Group and our Junior learners make up our Teina group. This year our Kapa Haka sessions started at the beginning of Term 2 and both groups are embracing their new learning with gusto!
