As the only North Shore school represented at ASB Polyfest 2022, the mana and passion of our students shone especially bright yesterday.
Just over 20 schools participated this year, however that number would normally be 60+ schools on the Māori stage, over several different divisions. This year all schools competed in one pool, meaning our kapa haka group, Te Rerenga Wāna, was up against some stiff competition from schools in higher divisions.
We won’t know the final results until later today, but what we do know is that this young group of wāhine left everything on the stage! The power in the performance was spine-tingling and every single member should be proud of their achievement.
Congratulations to a “very proud” Matua Eddie Hudson, along with tutors Renee Lawrence, Maddison Gerbes, Lyric Wihoete, Tirakahurangi Leaf and Sarah Tahere.

The images with this article were taken during a full dress rehearsal last Monday – except for the shot of students watching the live-stream in our Event Centre yesterday.
