Culture
School Band
The reestablishment of the school band in 2004 has been an outstanding success. The band has been a timetabled class this year and has concentrated on practising and rehearsing songs. These have been performed at school functions and concerts with obvious appreciation by the school.
Stage Challenge
Every year our Year 13 Performing Arts Students produce Stage Challenge. This is a regional and national competition. Each school has eight minutes of stage time where they must present their theme through drama, dance, sounds. Prop, Scenery, lighting, costumes and makeup. All students at Opunake High School have the opportunity to be part of this great production as performers or backstage people.
Kapa Haka
We have a Kapa Haka group called Te Haumoana which has been in existence for over 30 years. Membership of Te Haumoana is open to all students. We participate in local and regional compeititions. Our Tonga is one of the top Kapa Haka tutors in Taranaki.
