Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini – My strength is not my own but the strength of many.
On Monday, 15 September, the Baradene whānau gathered for the Māori Graduation dinner. It was a wonderful celebration of our Year 13 Māori students' culture and achievements in te reo and kapa haka.
Kei runga noa atu koutou - you are all amazing!
The kapa haka awards were presented to those who had been outstanding in each of the categories.
Another fantastic year of kapa haka. Mauri ora.
