Whaea offers her homemade sandwiches to strangers walking their dogs. The strangers had stopped to enjoy our Ākina men who are spending the lunch break on the waterfront singing. Practising. Perfecting. Connecting. The kapa boys have finished performing for the day but they’ll stay on and support their peers giving their final impromptu speeches in the regional Ngā Manu Kōrero speech competition. Two junior and two senior ākonga gave prepared speeches in front of judges and rival schools.
Tino pai Ākina men on representing our kura 🦅❤️💙
