Thousands gather for competitive end to kura year
One of the biggest events on the Māori school calendar is being held this week in Taranaki and Whanganui. RNZ reporter and former competitor Pokere Paewai takes us into the world of Wiki Hā.
When I think of my final days at kura, I think of Wiki Hā. A large final gathering of the kura kaupapa bubble, before stepping out into the big wide Pākehā world.
Te Wiki Hākinakina o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori - Wiki Hā, as it's more commonly known - is one of the biggest sporting events on the kura calendar, attended by kura from across Aotearoa, big and small.
Held every two years, Wiki Hā caps off the year for many kura and for Year 13s, like me almost 10 years ago, as the final swansong of their schooling days.
