Haka a Pt England

This Haka was written by Thomas Strickland (Brother of Sophie - Tokorima Aperahama's wife)

E nga maramara o te kura e tu (LEADER - a student, teacher, parent etc)

All who support this school, rise

He taua (LEADER)

It is a war party

He taua

It is a war party

Kei aku hoa pumau

to my dear friends

E whakaeke mai ra ki te mura o te ahi

Who are about to ascend the battle field

Ki te taumata tiketike

to attain the highest level

Nei ra te apakura e mihi matakuikui

Salutations

Ki nga raukura a Ruapotaka

For you are an adornment of Ruapotaka (or Tamaki)

Tu mai, tu mai ra

Be counted

Whaia (LEADER)

Strive

te pae tawhiti

For excellence

Whaia (LEADER)

Strive

Kia tata, whakamaua, kia tina

And it will happen, we concur

Haumi e, Hui e (LEADER)

Tiaki e

Be ready to progress.
