Draft:Ngā Kapa Haka Kura Tuarua o Aotearoa

Ngā Kapa Haka Kura Tuarua o Aotearoa is the national kapa haka competition for secondary schools in Aotearoa New Zealand.

History

edit

The event has been held biennially since 2000 until the competition was cancelled for the first time during the Covid pandemic in 2020. [1]

In 2022, the event returned but in a new format. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the competition was held over two days, instead of five, and split in five different locations where groups performed on stage behind closed doors to mitigate any potential impact of an outbreak.[2][3]

Performances were then broadcasted on Whakaata Māori and judged.

In June 2024, Ngā Kapa Haka Kura Tuarua o Aotearoa will be held in Nelson.[4]
