Sylvia - The Powhiri

A powhiri is a traditional Maori welcoming that involves waiatas and hongi’s etc. The year 9’s of Tamaki College 2013, were welcomed into the Tamaki whanau on February 7th. We were greeted in with a big speech by our Maori Father, and were also welcomed by the beautiful sound of waiatas sung by the Junior and Senior kapa haka group. Our year 9’s this year are thankful enough to have a school as kind as yours.
