Kapa haka<br />

“Ehara taku toa i te toa<br />

takitahi, engari he toa<br />

takitini”<br />

“My successes are not mine<br />

alone, but of many – the greatest<br />

successes we will have are from<br />

working together.”<br />

Kapa haka has now started to<br />

progress at Māngere College, led by<br />

our new kaiako, Maehe Nuku, who<br />

is also working in the Te Reo classes<br />

with Whaea Arihana.<br />

I am Cee-Jay Maitai a Year 13 Māori<br />

Student Leader here at Māngere<br />

College. I have participated in<br />

the kapa haka throughout my<br />

schooling here at <strong>MC</strong>. Throughout<br />

my journey as a participant I have<br />

learnt to improve in all aspects<br />

and become a stronger leader<br />

within the school community. My<br />

ambition is to inspire and develop<br />

many students who come through,<br />

also to strengthen students in<br />

learning their culture. Our school<br />

was very lucky to have a haka<br />

written for our school and a haka<br />

so unique to our school, created by<br />

Matua Maehe and our students.<br />

We welcome all students to join the<br />

kapa haka group.<br />
