Waka Ama was established in 2012 to provide an avenue for Māori boys to succeed as Māori in a Mā​​​​​​​ori medium.

It provided a platform for the school to promote whanaungatanga and hauroa.

Congratulations to our J16 W6 Waka Ama Team who won Gold in the 250m Sprint in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Waka Ama Championships, held in Rotorua in March 2024. We are extremely proud of you: Hamiora Fatialofa, Artorious Honotapu, Teariki-Joseph Maui, Mapusanga Papa, Tawa Paringtai, Jeremiah Qaranivalu, Jake Rapaea and Bryan Tamoe
