On the weekend a number of ākonga competed at the Iron Māori event in Tamaki at Okahu Bay.
It had been cancelled due to the sink hole that formed earlier in the year but at the last minute they decided to run the event and our kura stepped up and sent down 4 teams. Only Kura there!!!
And again, one of our teams took out first place in the team event…up against adult teams…TKW!!!

I haere mātou ki Tamaki Makaurau ki te Zoo, Rainbows End me Kelly Tarltons. He rawe ki a ratoute haerenga. Ngā mihi ki ngā kaimahi katoa me te roopu tautoko.

- On Tuesday we played Ki O Rahi with Ngātihine, and ākonga are becoming more skilled
