Ki-O-Rahi - 2024
On Tuesday, we witnessed an epic gathering of 61 teams from 23 schools, united by their love for Ki O Rahi! The sun shone bright, and the excitement was palpable as teams from as far as Whangarei joined us for an unforgettable day of competition, sportsmanship, and fun!
The energy was electric, with teams showcasing their skills, strategy, and teamwork. We saw fierce rivalries, nail-biting matches, and triumphant victories. But most importantly, we saw young people coming together, enjoying the thrill of the game, and making new friends.
A huge thank you to our participants, supporters, and organizers for making this event a resounding success! Your enthusiasm, dedication, and passion for Ki O Rahi make this event special.
Special acknowledgment to Te Rarawa Anga Mua, who have been running these games for 14 years, this is our 11th event, providing a platform for our Tamariki to shine. Your hard work and dedication to Ki O Rahi are greatly appreciated!
We’re already looking forward to next year’s games, where we’ll all once again celebrate the spirit of Ki O Rahi and the joy of competition.
Until then, keep practicing, keep playing, and keep Shining!
