He Waka Kōtuia, King’s and Queen’s Kapa Haka group, competed at Te Hautoka, the Regional Secondary Schools Kapa Haka Competition held in July at the Dunedin Town Hall. 

Many months of practice and hard work paid off with a tightly controlled, powerful performance, gaining first place in most categories and first place overall. 

This is the third consecutive win for He Waka Kōtuia at Te Hautoka and qualifies the group for entry in next year’s National Competition. Ka rawe!
