All the boys at Scots are taught the College Haka. Although the words differ slightly from the NZ All Blacks Haka, it is similar in both lyrics and also message. Today, to mark the end of the school week, all the junior boys did the haka in the quad. Mummy was lucky enough to be there to capture Joshua on camera!

Altogether, all of us (a series of actions and gesticulations)
One, let us prepare to fight
Let us tear them apart, let us tear them apart
