Welcome to our Kapa Haka group page
Tohaina ki te wharangi kapa haka to tatou kura
Te Totara School offers all students the opportunity to participate in an inclusive Kapa Haka performing group. Students from Year 1 to 6 are encouraged to join, where they learn traditional Maori songs and dance items. Our aim is to make it fun and provide students with a second base that will give them confidence when participating in traditional Maori customs such as the powhiri.
Our tutor is Whaea Penny, she is supported by Whaea Chantelle.
During Kapa Haka this year, the students are learning a variety of waita (songs) and waiata-a-ringa (action songs). They enjoy performing some of the items at special school celebrations.
