Mihi Whakatau

Kia ora koutou,

A great welcome for our new Kapa Haka tutors: Jahmaine M Cummings and Mahia Brown.

Thank you so much to the many whānau who sent food in for the shared kai after the welcome.  Please remember all whānau are very welcome to come in for Kapa Haka rehearsals and anything else we maybe organising for your tamariki. 

We have begun our new waiata.  Below are the kupu for you to rehearse at your kāinga.

Toku Mauri

Toku mauri no tua whakarere

Toku ngakau hei tuku whakairo

Toku wairua no nga tipuna tuturu

Hei tu whakairo nei hei poupou mo te rangi

Tenei ahau

Ru ana te whenua hikohiko te uira

Mau ana ki te ha o toku tu

Kia kohikohi kai mo toku oranga

Kia kohikohi kai mo toku wairua

Aue te aroha ka rere

Aue te aroha ka rere

Tenei ahau he uri no nga tipuna

Aratakina i au kia puawai

Tenei ahau he uri no Aotearoa

Aratakina i au kia whakatau uuu…
