The Uru Manuka Cultural Festival is an event where Schools come together to perform and celebrate the different cultures of our School Communities. This year we celebrated the Maori Culture.
On the 24th October, the St. Bernadette's Kapa Haka group performed at the Uru Manuka Cultural Festival for the first time. There were two performances, a Matinee one and an evening performance. The songs we performed consisted of: Kawaita, E Rere Taku Poi with Poi and Utaina. Our cultural leader Whaia Tanya taught us our songs and how to use poi. Mrs Lee accompanied the group playing the guitar.
At the evening session of the festival, there were eight or nine schools that performed, and their efforts were well received by the audience. The audience showed their approval by clapping and loud cheering.
The Uru Manuka Cultural Festival was a success and next year our school hopes to have a school costume that we can wear to perform in. We are looking forward to taking part again.
