Waka Ama

Waka ama is a popular sport at Kaipara College, and our top teams have won medals at the National Secondary School Waka Ama Championships.

We are very fortunate to have an experienced coach, our Director of Sport Israil Foreman. He has competed for years at a national & international level.

All paddlers are signed up to our local Waka Ama Club, Tu Tangi Ora, so are eligible to compete at school & club events.

We take registrations for new paddlers in June.
