Over the labour weekend, most students in the TWA pakeke classes are staying over at Te Whare Awhina for their marae noho. They are preparing for their Auckland Regional kapa haka competition at Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Mangere. Alot of time and energy has gone into making their bracket and we wish both classes lots of success. Below is a video of their first time doing a public performance at Manurewa marae. Mauri ora!

Kotuku Marae Noho
An absolute success! We had a fabulous marae noho and were supported by many of the staff, parents and community. Our boys went through the rituals of welcome and did an awesome powhiri. We said goodbye to whaea Koka Kylie who now has a job at the New Zealand Herald. Later in the evening, we said a BIG thank you to all the volunteers who have come this term to support TWA students. Nga mihi nui!

Oceania Indigenous Cup 2014
Tag football is the in thing these days and today was an opportunity for Kotuku class to go to Trusts stadium in Henderson to support our Kiwi can coordinator Matua Joseph. He was playing for Samoan pride at the tournament. Our boys were cheering matua on and did a haka for him before leaving. Please excuse the audio in the video as it cuts out in the beginning and comes back in later. Nga mihi nui!
The Recorders Club
We in Kotuku class are very fortunate to have Matua Allen spend his time and energy teaching us how to use the recorders. The programme has just recently started and we are having so much fun. Please have a look at our first public performance in front of our peers at Te Whanau Awhina karakia. Nga mihi nui!
