Melville Intermediate - School Haka

Yesterday Melville Intermediates Cultural Performing Arts Group (CPA) held at show at school in the afternoon for students and the community.  During this show the CPA there were performances in Maori (Kapa Haka), Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan and Tongan. 

One of the highlights was the Boys Haka.  This Haka was created for the school by Constable Niwha, who is our local community constable.

Melville Intermediate - Hackham East Haka

This is a video response to the latest Hackham East Boys Haka video from Destyn and Cleveland.
It was filmed at Melville Intermediate on Monday 18th May 2009 by Arahia. The purpose of this video is to communicate with Mr Lamsheds class in Adelaide and also to give a demonstration of the Pukana.

Melville Intermediate - Maori Haka

Today something special happened in Room 8. As you know our students are very excited about Mr Lamshed's class and his Boys Haka preparation for the upcoming Adelaide Arts Festival. Well having viewed their Haka numerous times online Destyn and Cleveland decided to model their own Haka for our friends in Australia and produce it here. That was the filming idea that they planned for, what I didn't expect was them to invite Tavita the Room Eight Teacher Aide to join in and also to do such an amazing performance. While this was filmed in the Hall the rest of Room 8 was in the classroom - I could hear the noise from the CLASS, which is a considerable distance away and I thought that they'd had a group of Boys doing Kapa Haka. Its an amazing intense performance and I am so, so proud of the Boys. Mr Lamshed and class this is for you.
