Matariki 2018

We love celebrating Matariki at E.H.S. Here is a clip showing some of the ways we did this.

Polyfest 2018!

E.H.S performed like stars on the night of the 2018 Polyfest. They represented Eastern Hutt with Mana and filled us all with pride. They put in so much time and effort into Kapa Haka and it shone through their performance. Tino pai!

The Performance starts at 4.50s

Karakia

Every morning we say this karakia in E4. We have discussed how the shimmer of light represents good decisions. This is a good way to start our days with a positive focus.



Kia hora te marino

Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana

Kia tere te karohirohi

i mua i to huarahi 

Tihei mauri ora!



May peace be widespread

May the sea glisten like greenstone

May the shimmer of light

Guide you on your way

Oh it's good to be alive!

Our beautiful Kapa Haka Design

Here is an explanation behind the meaning of our beautiful Kapa Haka design. A wonderful parent designed it for us in 2015 and we proudly wear it on our kapa haka uniforms.

Kapa Haka's New Chant

Here is our exciting new chant!

Ko te tangi o te pīwakawaka

Hē tohu pōuri ō Māui

I rokohina atu i te matimati

O Mahuika e

Nāna i hī ika i te whenua

Ko toku tīpuna tera

Ko Māui e!!!
