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…

This video covers the first two verses only
