Te Hau o Te Tonga

Our group is learning a new Haka called Te Hau o Te Tonga.  This Haka was composed by Kiwa Andrews, Kāuwharu Mōrehu, Callum McDougal, Tāmati Rīmene-Sproat, Chance Fisher and Wiremu Adds.  Based on original ideas from Rākaitemānaia Gardiner-Parata and others.  The actions were choreographed by Tāmati Rīmene-Sproat, Chance Fisher and Wiremu Adds.

For the last few weeks the Tawa College MPA class have been coming down to our Intermediate for Tuakana/Teina sessions, teaching the Haka.  I've posted up this movie to help my boys learn the kupu and actions.  Nga mihi nui kia Kahu, Jordan, Raysharn, Grayson, Tamatea, Te Wairoa, Jordan, Bynn, Thomas and Kōkā Jojo Rangihaeata for lending me her awesome students.

Tae e Wha - TIS


This morning during Kapa Haka practice the wonderful Miss Warren came in to take some photos of our group.  Here we are in all our glory.  A massive Kia Ora to Mana Tiaki for letting us use their ataahua Piupiu for our Matariki Night and our Open Night.
