Our Cultural Groups

The Asian Performance Club was created in 2022 to bring unity and a sense of belonging to our WGC Asian community. In 2023 we focused on Chinese Lyrical dances and Bollywood dances and we hope to expand our repertoire and representation in the future. We get to perform these dances at school events and also at our very own performance nights at school. A highlight of 2023 was our APC Family Night, when our friends and whānau came together to share food, watch our performances, and enjoy a fantastic celebration of culture. We have fun “hangouts” once or twice a week where we bond and make new friends and everyone is welcome.

It’s an opportunity for anyone in the school to come together and learn more about the Polynesian culture. We have one big performance which is Tu Tagata where we perform with heaps of the other schools in Wellington and we have lots of other little performances here and there. We learn songs and dances from different pacific islands and it’s a great experience for everyone to come together and create a sisterhood and a second family

WHEN: Tuesday Lunchtime, Thursdays After School 3:30pm-5pm. There will be extra practices in the holidays and closer to our Tu Tagata festival performance in July.
WHERE: Gym 2
LEADER(s): Lauren Luatua, Mili Lauti, Eve Lau Young, Tapini Raea, Susana Pau’u and Peyton So’oialo.

Nei rā te whānau a Te Haeata Awatea e mihi atu nei. Kia ora ngā kaihaka o WGC! Nau mai haere mai. WGC’s kapa haka combined with Wellington College, is Te Haeata Awatea. This is led by our tutor Tahi Clarke-Anderson.
We participate in numerous performances, and Māori events throughout the year such as pōwhiri and Rā Haka, as well as the annual prize giving performances for both schools.

This year’s focus is preparing for regionals 2025, and upholding the mana of the kaupapa. Kaihaka of all levels are welcome into our kapa, no experience required.
