I'd love to have been there in person to see this. Those year 9s delivered with incredible passion. Makes me proud of my old school every time I see this.
Thank you so much. Always glad to see proud Old Boys' still feeling the PNBHS spirit. Really are proud of our school and its students. #NihilBoneSineLabore
When I was at school in the 1960s we had a school haka, however, I don’t remember doing it very often. I find this rather good to see. Especially as it probably upsets the woke wimps seeing all that toxic masculinity jumping around all at once! Have a good day everyone from Sydney Australia. PS sorry to bring up politics! I just couldn’t resist it!
It's part of the Maori culture the natives back in the days used it in battles to intimidate their enemies! Football players now days are using it before or after each game kind a symbolic to that but we use it in weddings, farewell, or welcoming someone and a lot more!
During WW2 the German Commander Rommel ran into our boys in Nth Africa ~ The 28th Maori Battalion... and said if they'd been on Germanys side they'd have won the war! ⚘⚘⚘
@@paulolosi5204 a whole lot more. I’ve gotta do it for an unveiling and it’s not only limited to the boys which is something good I love because I am a girl and know next to nothing about Being Maori cause my grandfather never gave me the chance. I guess when the next war comes we will do the haka again 🤭
They are not emboding demons , this is culture this is their heritage. Dont speak on something you dont anything about , jus cuz it “ looks or sounds “ intimidating doesnt mean it is. Dont judge base of looks , Think before you speak and Learn before Acting
Maoris love to include others. and New Zealanders basically were given the chance too since their New Zealanders. Not maori but New Zealanders. I’m a girl so I can’t do something AS intimidating as this but my brother gotta learn for an upcoming unveiling. As long as the haka and our Maori heritage and actions aren’t Appropriated we’re prefects fine :)
This is such a celebration...At first glance it might look like the school i advocating for violent behaviour but I think its the opposite, it connects them to their culture, finds unity within natives and settlers from overseas while being an outlet for emotions, using aggressivity as a demonstration for the power within oneself and together with others. I have no outlets for those kind of emotions at all...specially as a woman, you aren't allowed to the full spectrum of emotions..just like a lot of men havn't been allowed to cry. We obviously need both outlets to function. Not being allowed to access sadness trough tears leaves only anger, anxiety or numbness...while only crying wont restore a healthy sense of pride that one could experience from being assertive and setting boundries...but what do I know...haha I havn't felt true anger for 15 years!!!
