We have been participating in kapa haka at Karoro School since 2001. At different times throughout the year we have whole school waiata, junior kapa haka and senior kapa haka. The senior kapa haka work hard each year to compete in the Te Hui Ahurei o ngā Kapa Haka o Te Tai Poutini - West Coast Kapa Haka Festival. Whānau are very welcome to join our kapa haka.
Paula Iraia is our tutor.
