HAKA!

Wellington College haka in the middle of Dixon Street makes me smile :) Haka stop traffic. I LOVE HAKA. I love our school haka so much. Today I wanted to do the haka at the leavers lunch, I want to do it at prizegiving, I loved when we did it at House Music, I loved when we did it for Ms Powles in the performance area, I loved when we did it at Mr Darks funeral, i loved when we did it on the OPERA STAGE! ME.. little Pakeha girl doing haka on the Opera House stage! It's a pride thing maybe.. its passionate, its loud, it draws you all together and it is POWERFUL!
