Te Rakau Whakapapa Isel Market Opening


Isel Park – Thursday 18 October. Meet at 4.30 pm, perform 5.00- 5.30 pm.

Birchwood’s kapa haka group have had a busy time with performances lately! We have been asked to open the Isel Park market this Thursday evening, which is quite an honour for us.

Te Rakau Whakapapa will meet at Isel house at 4.30 pm. We perform from 5- 5.30 pm. I hope we can get lots of parents, whānau, and other people from our school community to support our students and Birchwood school. There will be Birchwood teachers ‘backstage’ to help out, but as always, support from our parents is greatly appreciated!

Our kōtiro will please wear kapa dresses to, and home from, Isel park. Dresses can be returned the following day. Boys are to wear plain black (school) shorts, and a plain black t-shirt if they wish.

When you arrive:
·       Find a tipare (head band) and tapeka (sash).
·       Shoes, sweaters, etc are folded neatly on your shoes.
·       Girls: find somebody to check whether your dress needs pinning.

Students need to be delivered to, and collected from Isel park. We cannot let students get home by themselves.

A huge plea to send me any film or photos you take for our blog. We don’t get to see ourselves perform! Please indicate on the slip below whether your child is able to attend.

If you have any questions or comments, please do let me know.

Ka kite,

Damian Hardman
