COBHAM SCHOOL CULTURAL EXPERIENCE
This Cobham School Taiaha group (right) were the 1st in recent years to travel and perform in a traditional manner. The pupils of the Waimata Valley School benefited as did the entertainers from this cultural experience. It was an opportunity to demonstrate their skills which they have practised throughout the year with Dave Ahu, their tutor. We caught up with the Taiaha group on the Waimata River preparing to launch the waka.
