NGĀ MANU PŪTOHE REGISTRATION 2026!

Thank you for your interest in joining our kaupapa.

Ngā Manu Pūtohe provides a safe, supportive, and culturally enriching environment where tamariki and rangatahi can strengthen their connection to te ao Māori through kapa haka, tikanga, te reo Māori, whakawhanaungatanga, and personal development.

Our 2026 programme runs from June to November with practices held fortnightly across two locations in Brisbane North and Logan. Throughout the programme, participants will learn the foundations of kapa haka, marae protocol, pōhiri and whakatau processes, waiata, haka, poi, leadership, and cultural knowledge while building confidence.

Programme Locations

📍 Brisbane North - Craigslea State High School

📍 Logan - Marsden State High School

Noho Camps

Two noho camps will be held during 2026:

• August 2026

• October 2026

  
  

We are still finalising the details but at this stage we are estimating noho costs to be around $100 per person for both noho combined. We are looking at camping style venues to keep costs down and make it as affordable as possible for our whānau.

We encourage all our whanau to attend noho with us.

To further help reduce costs, all kai and kitchen duties will be coordinated by parents and caregivers with everyone contributing where they can. If anyone knows of an afforable camp site, please email admin@ngmanuputohe.com
