Kapa Haka

We have been doing kapa haka at Karoro School for many years. At different times throughout the year we have whole school kapa haka, junior kapa haka and a 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.

Would you like to practise some of the waiata and haka at home? See the videos below to help you, or come in and join us.

Each year Karoro School's kapa haka learns a range of waiata and haka for performance.
