Cultural Groups

Kapa Haka

All Hinds school students participate in Kapa Haka. Kapa Haka is an opportunity for students to experience a link to our Māori culture, Te Reo and Tikanga through Waiata and Haka (Music, Dance and Movement).

Kapa Haka provides all Hinds School students the essential element of whanaungatanga - the importance of people and connectedness, where we learn about our local area - Hekeao (Hinds).

Currently we are learning: 

Pepeha o Hekeao

Pepeha - Six60

Toia Mai

Purea Nei

Tika Tonu (haka)

Moemoea (Don't Dream It's Over)

Filipino Cultural Group

The Hinds Filipino students have the opportunity to learn the Filipino history and culture through music, dance, food, language, games and cultural costumes.

They learn this weekly throughout the year alongside a Filipino expert bilingual support person. The students were able to share their learning through performances around the region and also with their schoolmates.
