Ki-O-Rahi

Kī-o-rahi 2020 started off with some great team bonding with a two-day noho marae at the schools Whare in preparation for the regional tournament later in Term 1. We then started the term as a strong whanau group and qualified for Nationals. Unfortunately, covid-19 then hit New Zealand and the rest of the Term 1 season was cancelled along with the Nationals. Once the country went back to Alert Level 1, we caught up as a whanau and shared kai and checked in on each other. Kī-o-rahi was reinstated for Term 4. Trainings began again and our Friday afternoon games resumed. Everyone was really happy to be back and able to play again. Next year we will start the year similarly, working hard to qualify for Nationals and then begin fundraising for our big trip up north in the first week of the first school holidays.
