  • High School Boys from New Zealand chose to give a moving farewell to a veteran teacher with a rousing performance of their best haka dance at an assembly earlier this year.
    Guidance counsellor John Adams was a teacher at Palmerston North Boys’ High School for 30 years, starting out as a substitute teacher in science and agriculture studies in February 1986.
    As seen in footage viewed more than 300,000 times, hundreds of students performed an emotional haka in the school’s hall on on April 14, 2016. The haka is a traditional New Zealand war cry, dance, or challenge from the Maori people of New Zealand. While the New Zealand haka is memorably performed at the start of sporting events, it is also used to acknowledge distinguished figures.

      Masculinity isn’t necessarily a bad word while nowadays seems, this masculinity is positive… nowadays people say “toxic masculinity” for everything (fun fact: women do haka too and probably even more scary since only women act weird with eyes). They showing respect, women doing haka are showing they are strong as men… so, literally, this is one of the most positive representation of masculinity! ❤

    I’m a nobody white guy but I’ve watched Hakas for years on RUclips.
    Something about the haka I’ve enjoyed for years is the people doing it are obviously New Zealand teams schools or similar cultures. But there’s always people that are clearly not of NZ decent or heritage. Those who don’t look native aren’t in the back or sitting quietly. They’re in it, front line middle line doesn’t matter. Makes me feel like “ hey you’re wearing our uniform/ colors you’re one of us.”
    Also the way they calmly and quietly sat down. Add an M4 or axe in their hand and my grown as is running as fast as I can.
    That is probably one of life’s greatest moments for the teacher. Much respect

    As an Ex old boy of PNBHS they are awesome. You want to hear the end of year ones at prizegiving night. That is next level. 1800 odd boys in an echoing arena is even more goosebump causing.
    Boys used to hate the structure but it also made us responsible and respectful and that when a staff member said jump you did or you would deal with the consequences. You know when you went to the school what the expectations were.
    Ask alot of the boys in the senior years and we have alot of respect and Mana for the staff.
    Im about 12 years out of it and I have kept in touch with staff, and even had a job with a board member, and things that I learnt from the school has been with me ever since.
    I was there under Tim OConnor’s rule who is now Auckland Grammar’s Rector and that is running the same level.
    You lay out the expectations and the boys follow.
    PNBHS has a huge proud military history and I think it’s because the military runs similarly to the school also with being home to some of the biggest defence bases helps.
    Never once since being there have I thought it was a crap place, sure im one who hated school because its not my scene, but the place was definitely a gem.
    You would never see what happened to David Seymour at Freyberg happen at PNBHS. Weak leadership/discipline grows weak people, strong leadership/discipline builds strong people and minds.

    As a retired public high school teacher, your students are a reflection of their appreciation and time you spent with them! When ever I see my ex students they always thank me for being a teacher who they will never forget about how much they learned , and the fun they had!

      During WW2 and in the Korean + Vietnam campaigns, Maori soldiers would often perform a Haka before going into battle. You can Google the Battle of Crete for photos. It was mainly tough hand to hand combat and they were fearsome warriors. The Scottish highland division also had their own Battle cry ( That apparently frightened the Germans and put them on edge ) before fighting.
