Ki-O-Rahi is a traditional Maori game based on the purakau (legend) of Rahitutakahina and the rescue of his wife Tiarakurapakewai. It is a mix of sports which allows students of all abilities to play. A combination of handball, touch, tag and many other sports, the school comes together with Westlake Boys to create mixed teams for the Seniors and Junior one-day tournaments. In 2023, Westlake’s only team won the National Mixed Championship title and since then the sport has continued to grow in popularity to four teams.
