Our haka performance by Te Awa Kōtui from Te Tohu Paetahi. What an incredible experience to stand alongside my classmates and perform with such passion and unity. A huge thank you to everyone who supported us and helped make this event possible. It was truly an awesome day. Filmed by my amazing wife, Emma, on her mobile Phone.

Ko ēnei te haka a Te Awa Kōtui nō Te Tohu Paetahi. He wheako whakamīharo te tū tahi me aku hoa ākonga, me te whakaatu i te ngākau, te wairua, me te kotahitanga o tō mātou rōpū. he mihi nui ki te Hunua i tautoko, i āwhina hoki kia tutuki pai tēnei kaupapa, he rā tino rawe tēnei. Nā tōku hoa rangatira, a Emma, I hopu mā tana waea pūkoro.
