Up and Coming Cultural Festival!

The October holidays are fast approaching. If you are looking at doing a bit of spring cleaning, keep in mind that the school will have a White Elephant Stall. 

According to Wikipedia: A "white elephant sale" sells items that retain some value but have no intrinsic use; items are often referred to as white elephants. Such items may still find buyers but their resale value is hard to estimate.

We accept donated goods in a re-sellable condition (new and used)
  • If you are donating Brick-a-Brack please make sure there are no chips or cracks
  • Soft toys and clothing should be washed with no rips.
  • Board games and other toys to be bagged up (matching) if incomplete please write INCOMPLETE on bag
  • If the item can fit in your car and you no longer need it,please donate!

Wearable Arts Show

The creations this year were truly amazing and we had a great time making our own.  We carried out the theme of Maori mythology relating to the environment and created 5 main costumes depicting:
- Tangaroa
- Tawhirimatea
- Tane Mahuta
- Papatuanuku
- Ranginui

Thank you to all of the families who came out to support us by watching the show.  We hoped you enjoyed seeing what we made!
