On Wednesday 11th November Matipo’s Cultural groups headed down to Corbans to perform at the Cultural Festival.  We were among 35 other Primary Schools.  We had been practicing twice a week and even more when we came closer to our performance date.  We were all quite nervous but once on stage there was no holding us back!

We opened with the Kapahaka group, followed by our Maraukau group, Samoan group and lastly our Polynesian group – who had a Hawaiian theme.  Our performances were well received by the crowd and especially by the MC who borrowed our cd as he was so impressed by the dances!

I would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG thank you to all our tutors and supporters who came to Corbans!  It was great to be greeted by you all and pass on your praises to the children.
