Students who are interested in kapa haka have the opportunity to participate in a range of activities. The year starts with the powhiri (welcome ceremony) for the new staff and students. Students are encouraged to participate in the regional Nga Manu Korero competitions and if they are successful, go on to compete at national level. Tama Tu Tama Ora travel to tautoko (support) our speakers. The national kapa haka competitions are held in even years while, in other years, there are wānanga (workshops) to enhance students' knowledge and skills in Māori Performing Arts. 

Waimea College is a fantastic whanau to be part of, where students can develop some great skills and extend their knowledge in the Māori culture.
