On Tuesday evening, our kapa haka rōpū, Ngā Pae Maunga o Waitākere, had the honour of performing at a beautiful Tahitian wedding held at the stunning Markovina Vineyard Estate in Kumeu. Our tauira shone with confidence and mana as they shared the beauty of te ao Māori through waiata and haka. The bride and groom were overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude for the performance, which added a powerful and heartfelt touch to their special day.

A special mihi to Daniel Maine, the event planner and proud ex-Waitākere student. 

Ngā mihi nui ki a koe e hoa – thank you for creating this unique opportunity for our rangatahi to represent their kura and culture so proudly. He rawe koutou – we are so proud of you all!
