Can You Help

CAN YOU HELP OUR KAPA HAKA & PASIFIKA GROUP? 

Kia ora, malo lelei, talofa lava, warm greeting to you all. 

Calling all Kapa Haka or Pasifika dance enthusiasts....... 

Our Kapa Haka and Pasifika group have grown since last year and we have a large group of over 25 students in total. We are beginning to practice for the Otago Schools Maori and Pasifika Festival in Dunedin. This is during Term 3 on Thursday the 18th of July. We are aiming to have two seperate performances for the day. However with more students we now have the need for more help with the tutoring of these groups. If you have a knowledge of Kapa Haka especially actions and using taiaha for the boys or if you can help with our Pasifika group please contact us. We can be flexible with practice times and our students would greatly appreciate the help. 

If you are interested please contact me directly as soon as possible on 4345642 or email: splunkett@stkevins.school.nz

MATARIKI CELEBRATIONS 

Our Kapa Haka and Pasifika groups are planning to have a hangi to celebrate Matariki on the first Friday of Term Three (25th July). The hangi will also be a fundraiser for our performance at the Otago Schools Maori and Pasifika Festival later in the term. We would greatly appreciate donations of vegetables (potatoes, kumara, pumpkin etc) and meat to put in our hangi. There will be a box to drop off your veges in the office during the first week back. Prices for each hangi meal will be confirmed next term. Tickets will be available from the office from Monday 21st July (Week 1). Please support our cultural groups and enjoy some kai with us on the 25th of July. 

Nau te rourou, naku te rourou ka ora te iwi.
With your food basket and my food basket, the people will be fed.

Nga mihi nui ki a koutou,
Wishing all our students and whanau a restful holiday.
