Our Hikurangi School Pacific Island Groups currently consist of over 60 dancers between the Year 0 and 8. This year the 3 groups (1 junior, 1 middle and 1 senior) have performed for Otangarei School Cultural Festival and the Whānau at the Falls event.
Our Pacific Island Dance Groups love dancing and have performed at many community events, schools and festivals all over Whangarei in the last 4 years. If you have a community event coming up and you need some enthusiastic Pacific Island Dance items...let us know!
Our Pacific Island dancers this year are taught by Whaea Whitney and Whaea Shontelle.

Pasifika Fusion Festival is an annual festival held on the Hihiaua Peninsula at the Hatea Loop. Thousands of people attend yearly, celebrating Pacific cultures with music, performances, food and entertainment. Every year our Pacific Island Dance Groups perform.

Whanau at the Falls has been an event that we have been involved in for over 6 years. It has always been a great day for our tamariki to perform and for our whanau to enjoy the food, performances and to be close to one of Northland's most treasured waterfalls.

As much as we love performing around Whangarei, our favourite place to perform will always be at Hikurangi School infront of our many friends and whanau! Being able to celebrate Matariki by performing is just wonderful for our tamariki.
