Whakatokia the youngest in membership of participating teams was set up in response to strong support from parents in and around the Aranui area. Tihi Puanaki a prominent Maori language teacher at Te Whanau o Aranui has been instrumental in the conception of this group. Based at Aranui High School, Whakatokia plays an integral role in the fostering of Te Reo me ona Tikanga through Maori performance. The passion to extend knowledge and share understanding can be seen in every performance. As well as providing support and strengthening an understanding of Te Ao Maori within the school, the community as a whole has benefited from the extensive involvement of Whakatokia. Whakatokia is proud to have supported Waitaha Cultural Council and work diligently to ensure the ongoing success of Maori performing arts for the betterment of tamariki, rangatahi and whanau.
