Battle of the Haka
This year we have introduced a new inter-house competition. The aim of this event is to foster school spirit.
Each house has had one period to learn the school Haka. Matua Gage has schooled them up well. After a couple of practice sessions, which will be held in non-teaching time, we will have a final where all of the houses compete against each other. This should be a rousing event!
Have a good week.

Principal
Warm greetings to you all
