Nga iwi kia ora ra.

Nga iwi kia ora ra.

Kapa Haka Costume Fitting for the Senior Roopu

Tēnā koutou,

Thank you to the mothers who came in last Friday night to prepare our kai while the roopu worked very hard.  It was a wonderful night and we accomplished a lot.  Thank you to the parents for braving the cold to pick the tamariki up that night.....it was freezing!

We are very fortunate to have a couple of wonderful mums who are going to fit the Senior Kapa Haka roopu with their costumes from 1:-30 - 3.30 on Thursday, 30 May in the hall.

Students of this group are to come over immediately after lunch.

Kia ora koutou!
