Matariki Celebrations

Tena koutou katoa ki nga matua, nga whanau me nga mokopuna o te kura o Waikanae.
This year as part of our Matariki Celebrations Waikanae School will be celebrating this special time down at Whakarongotai Marae on Thursday the 2nd of June. We have the honour of displaying and sharing the Whakapapa of our Reanga Tukutuku panels in the Wharenui from 10am in the morning through till 10pm. Over the course of the day we will have activities, stories and our people of the Marae joining in to take part with the celebrations of Matariki sharing their korero and stories. Our mokopuna/ tamariki will get the opportunity to go down to Whakarongotai Marae during the day
and take part in all the activities on offer.
We have been very fortunate this year to also be part of the Mahara Gallery Art night,
Po Whakaatu Toi where our tamariki will be performing a Kapa Haka bracket.
The time of performance is 4pm outside Mahara Gallery.
