The Bay of Islands International Academy were very proud to host the very first kapa haka festival for primary and intermediate students in Kerikeri.
This event, held at the beautiful Whitiora Marae in Te Tii, was a celebration of Ngāti Rehiatanga in the form of waiata and performance.
As inaugural hosts our whole school were the welcoming group for all the other visiting schools, and with the support of our kaiwhina Crystal, Rawi and Danny, the children did themselves very proud.
It was a wonderful day of Kerikeri schools sharing a sense of togetherness and whānaungatanga, best depicted by the photos shared below.
