Students at UCOL | Te Pūkenga Horowhenua got into the Matariki celebrations last week, with a hangi and a special performance by Nga Kotuku o Punahau kapa haka group from Levin Intermediate School.
 
“The kapa haka rōpū were amazing, for some it was their first time performing publicly however you wouldn’t have known it,” says  Yvonne Seng, Kaiwhakahaere Horowhenua Campus. “Matua Darren Reid’s korero about Matariki and how their kapa haka rōpū got their name was inspiring and appreciated by staff and students.”
