A group of young men represented Palmerston North Boys’ High School at a kapa haka workshop held last week at Te Putahi a Toi, Massey University. 

Students within the Manawatū-Horowhenua region who perform at regional and national levels of kapa haka, had the opportunity to gain more in-depth knowledge in Te Ao Haka. 

Wānanga Objectives 

1. To bring experts in Te Ao Haka to share their learnings with our rangatahi.   

2. To raise the level of kapa haka in the Manawatū - Horowhenua region. 

3. To share our collective expertise across all participating schools 

Thank you to Nic Fonotoe and his team of experts for allowing our students to participate.

Whāia te mātauranga ki tōna puhikaioreore e ea ai te werawera o Tānerore, o Hine Rehia.
