Te Matatini 2007

Well another festival has come and gone with our school gaining alot of publicity through performances on the opening pageant night, the Māori music awards and also the closing ceremony. Thanks to Māori Television the world was introduced to the 'philosopher' a.k.a. Jordan Edwards and the many dancing talents of Sefton Thomas and Ropata Hall. Anyone would think we were paying them with all that coverage, but I guess its a testiment to our whole schools presence and commitment to the festival and Māori hui as a whole. Mean Māori Mean! Ngā mihi kau ake ki a Pā Kahu hoki me tōna kapa toa, ara ngā Kaieke Tohorā - Whangara Mai Tawhiti - Kei whea mai!
