Haka Dance from New Zealand to Tungku, Brunei

Everyone was waiting and eager to know what Haka dance was, until Mr Simon Green, our English CfBT teacher showed and performed the dance on stage in front of others. Haka dance originates from Maori tribes in New Zealand which is also called the dance of war. To know more about Haka dance, click this link.

The school informally organised a sport day for fun on 21st November 2013, encouraging and engaging all teachers to participate in the games. Organised by our Physical Education teacher, Cikgu Haji Azreem arranged challenging games for both male and female teachers. The peak event was the Haka dance.

Mr Simon Green firstly explained about the Haka dance and performed a demonstration soon after that before the teachers and students in the school's hall. He showed the steps and movements and sang the native Maori language Haka song.

A group of male teachers were then called up to come to the stage, accompanying Mr Simon doing the dance together. The dance movements were introduced in steps, easy for the teachers and the kids to follow. This then became the warming up exercise before all teachers geared up for the games.

The Haka dance was a new experience for the people in the hall. It is truly will be a new experience among Bruneians too. Thanks to Mr Simon Green for the Haka dance. Everyone seemed enjoyed.
