Our kapahaka roopu, Te Kaupeka, will be performing to tautoko the event.

In addition, a hāngī lunch will be provided with it being served at approximately 1pm. Sharing kai is a way of coming together in Te Ao Māori and we are fortunate to have our Haka Kaiako, Matua Willie and Whaea Tania helping Te Kaupeka prepare the kai.

We look forward to welcoming our new members at this special event.
