Te Arikinui, Dame Te Ataairangikaahu, an Old Girl of the school. By staying on a Marae and participating in culturally based activities, students will gain further insights into, and an understanding of, Tīkanga Māori. Students who already have associations with the Marae will be able to share their knowledge with the other students. During their stay, students will also participate in Kaupapa Māori workshops from Māu Rakau (Māori weaponry) and Ki o Rahi (traditional Māori ball sport) to Raranga (flax weaving) and the famous Marae Idol. A service project along the Waikato River and up Taupiri Mountain is also being planned as well as the opportunity to participate in Waka Ama on the Waikato River. |
