Catholic Kāhui Ako —North Hub Cultural Festival
On Thursday 22 August, the Catholic Kāhui Ako—North Hub Cultural Festival was held at Marian College. The day was filled with excitement and pride as our North Hub Catholic students performed not once but twice, showcasing their incredible talents and dedication.
During the day, the students from St Joseph’s Papanui, St Bede’s College, St Joseph’s Rangiora, Marian College, and St Albans Catholic School took to the stage in front of an impressive audience of 700 students. The energy was electric as the students performed with confidence and grace. The audience witnessed Kapa Haka, Filipino, and Pasifika cultural groups.
In the evening, the schools performed again for an equally large audience of approximately 700 people. The visiting Apifo’ou College from Nuku’alofa,
Tonga treated the audience to a special performance. Our students shone brightly once more, proving their dedication and hard work.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the families who supported this event. Your encouragement and presence made the day even more special for our students. This festival was a true celebration of our culture and community.
