PNBHS Haka for Mr. Dawson Tamatea’s Funeral Service

The entire school performing the Haka during the arrival of Mr. Tamatea in the hearse. This was a very emotional and powerful performance. We are extremely proud of our boys’ performance and we know that Mr Tamatea would be too. For those watching in other parts of the world, this is our school Haka. This is the translation: Be prepared take hold Reach out We of Palmerston North Boys’ High School stand steadfast Within our Domain Standing firm Standing proud Standing with respect To uphold To uplift To uplift To uphold The prestige of our school Our aims are to seek knowledge And reach our goals and aspirations Seek the horizon of aspirations And draw near to it Those aspirations that are near, take them And it be known, yes, let it be known Let your adrenalin abound high above It is done!!!
