Over the weekend 10-12 June, Koukourārata’s Cultural Advisor (Nani-Pērā Moka) organised a kapa haka hui for whānau to get to know each other, walk the hills of Koukourārata and of course see the pou.

An update with details on our next kapa haka hui will be posted to our Facebook page, along with a programme. At this stage, we are looking at 8-10 July.

We hope to see you there whānau. Email Nani to register your interest: [email protected]

Auē, I had no idea we had so many young tamariki but look at them all in this photo below.
