With another year comes success once again at the Secondary School Waka Ama Nationals, with all finals held in the final day.

With different schools winning different finals, it was evident that Waka Ama is thriving across the country.

Te Kura Māori o Porirua was awarded the Putu Mihaka memorial trophy for outstanding manaaki, awhi and overall positive attitude throughout the event.

Next year will mark the 18th edition of the Waka Ama Secondary Schools Nationals, a big year of waka ama as the IVF World Sprint championships will also be held later next year in Hawaii.
