Te Kura kaupapa Māori o Ruamata is a total immersion Māori highschool based in Rotorua.
Its hockey team is featured in a documentary on RNZ, which follows the school, with just 258 students, to the prestigious Rankin Cup.
But while the school is excelling in hockey, it's also making a splash on the stage, tonight its school band will compete for Smoke Free Rock Quest 2024.
Some of them join Mihi to share a taste of what to expect at the competition tonight.
