Production 2017

This week was dedicated to our school production 'Aotearoa Bandstand'. We had 5 performances (2 matinees and 3 night performances). It was a very busy week but an awesome opportunity for students to show parents, whānau and the community all the hard work they have been putting into the production.

Room 9 has worked extremely hard on their production dance and they should all be very proud of how polished and entertaining their dance was, so many positive comments from staff, whānau and the community. What a great way to end a very busy and full on term 3!
