Tuwharetoa Festival

Tongariro School was acknowledged at the festival for the long journey to Taupo to perform, children had practiced over two terms with Mrs King and Whaea Nini to present this collection of waiata to the audience of whaanau, kaumatua  and guests.  A big thankyou to all those who were able to support their child at the festival and if you couldn't come thank you so much for having them at school early!!  Poor Te Hoka was mauiui on the day, we missed you Te Hoka so I hope you enjoy the video :)

 Here is the performance, the video begins as the senoir kapa haka rohe in the audience sing and tautoko the teina rohe on stage.  I apologise for my amatuer filming, I attempted to get a close up of each child from where security made those with devices sit.   Arohanui, Janine
