Atamaarie Whaanau. Looking forward to our tamariki performing, today at the MCF. We’re on stage at 1:35pm at the Pukekohe Indian Hall - 59 Ward St. Which means we have to be there at 30mins before performance time. I’ll be there at 12:30pm ready to stencil moko.
Unfortunately, there’s a bit of roads works going on, so you’ll have to drive around the block to access the carpark.
Mihi nui Whaanau 🤎

Paanui – Kapa Haka Practice for Puni MultiCultural Festival
Teenaa koutou e te whaanau,
In preparation for our performance at this year’s Puni MultiCultural Festival, we are hoping all aakonga in kapa haka can come to one last practice this Friday 28th March, after school in the hall.
This quick hui will help us brush up our skills and get stage-ready for our performance on Saturday.
If any whaanau are able to come along to support or lend a hand, your awhi would be very much appreciated.
Ngaa mihi nui,
Naa te kapa haka o View Road School

Kia ora koutou,

A huge mihi to everyone who supported our Kapa Haka Christmas Raffle fundraiser! ❤️ Your aroha and generosity helped us create an unforgettable fun day for our tamariki at the pools. The kids had an amazing time enjoying the water, the slides, and, of course, the delicious kai.

We’d like to extend a special thank you to those who:
🌟 Bought raffle tickets and encouraged others to do the same.
🌟 Helped supervise and ensure the day at the pools ran smoothly.
🌟 Donated the incredible prizes – Whaea Ngati Pikiao Piki Jakeman, thank you for your generosity in donating the big-ticket items, and to our wonderful aunty who lovingly knitted the blankets for the raffle.
🌟 Contributed kai for the Christmas hamper – your kindness brought even more festive cheer to our kaupapa.

Your support means so much to our roopuu and helps us continue to celebrate our tamariki.

Meri Kirihimete – Merry Christmas and a safe, happy holiday season to all. We look forward to seeing you again in the new year! Ngaa mihi nui! 🎅🎁🎉

Arohanui,
