Every Friday we are fortunate enough to have Matenga Baker conduct Waiata Māori sessions with all of our syndicates. During these sessions Matenga shares local Māori knowledge, history and customs. Cath Franks leads our 130 strong senior Kapa Haka group and is supported by Colin Siversen and Di Puati. They attend the local schools’ Kapa Haka festival every year, and tomorrow the Year 7 & 8s in the group will be performing at Coastal Villas Retirement Village (photos below of them practising in preparation for this).
