KAPA HAKA and SOUTH WAIRARAPA HUI- 1st September

KAPA HAKA and SOUTH WAIRARAPA HUI- 1st September

Apologies that details are a little slow arriving for this important Hui. The following is a notice explaining the event. Please also note that the final numbers need to be in tomorrow for the Hangi. I'm happy for you to either email me direct or send a note in with your child.

Thanks,

Rachel Burt

Kiaora All

The time for the Hui next week has been changed and so we will need Kapahaka students to arrive at Papawai at 4:15pm for a practise run through on site.  The hui will begin at 5pm now not 5:30pm. This should mean your child is free to leave around 5:30pm.

This Hui is intended to be about building relationships between education sectors, maraes and community.  With this in mind, all parents of our school are invited.  The evening will start with a powhiri/welcome, short performance from Greytown kapahaka, related stories and history of Papawai, followed by a hangi. Our students may leave after their performance if they wish as it is a particularly big week for students with Artsplash, hui and science fair.

The hangi is being put on by Kuranui and Papawai.

All are welcome to share the hangi. There is no charge for this, but it is essential we know numbers of those attending for catering purposes. Hangi will not be provided for kapa haka unless you let us know that your child is staying on for this with you.  The final day to let us know if you wish to partake in the hangi is tomorrow. Please let Mrs Jones know or e-mail the office.

A reminder that following the kapahaka performance, parents will be responsible for their children.

Students need to wear tidy school uniform, including shoes and hair brushed please. Students will enter straight onto the marae as they have already been welcomed. They will assemble outside the dining hall ready for their rehearsal and instruction on programme order and protocol. Students being collected by parents after will assemble by the gates around 5:30pm.  Please be aware the hui will still be in progress then.

Regards
