These amazing results got us 2nd place overall. The tamariki have worked extremely hard this term and it is fabulous that they got this result.

We had Paua Iraia helping us to learn all our waiata and put our bracket together, we had Mrs Waihi keeping us on track and we had students from John-Paul 2 (Breegan Waihi and Samantha and Cameron Bergin) who all put in a huge amount of time and effort to help us on our journey to our first time competing in the Kapahaka competition.
