Westlake Girls High School’s Kapa haka group is looking forward to performing as a single sex group at this year’s Polyfest competition at Manukau Velodrome on Thursday 15 April at 11.45am in Division 3.
Under a new name called “Te Rerenga Wāna”- “The Swan takes Flight” the competition will be run in the last week of Term 1 from Wednesday through to Saturday. Supporters will be able to watch their schools compete on the Māori stage under the current level one conditions for Covid while a video option for groups will be available if the level 1 is surpassed at the time.
Under the new tutorship of Nettie and Delysia Norman with James Singe the group has been enjoying the aspects of whanaungatanga and akoranga during thier journeys in preparation for the big day. Lets all hope for a well attended successful event in mid April.
