Awakeri School

Kapa Haka 2010


We're about to do a concert for family at the Events Centre after two days of kapa hyaka intensive. Tio Geerlings gets the cloak around his shoulders. He will introduce our himene, our song to remember people who have passed on.	A big crowd turned up... grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, teachers, past kapa haka members....

Here we are with the hymn. Tio has done his korero.	Next it's ti rakau. Rylee Looney sings "e aue, ka mate au..."

Jenae and the front row get their sticks going in time.	Now it's the poi. Here are Holly, Shjara and Aroha.

Shjara's smiles, pukana and enthusiasm light up the room!	Ollie is one of the boy leaders. They did well in the haka and the other songs.

Ezra and Liam "Ko te kura o Awakeri e ngunguru nei..."	Sophie is one of 53 people performing.

Girl leader Aroha Leighton, with Taylah beside her in the final song. Tino pai!!
