We are immensely proud of the senior students who performed at the Kahukura Music Festival on Wednesday night last week.

The choir and choral were fabulous in all their singing opportunities, the ukulele players were brilliant, and a special shout out to our amazingly brave soloists!

Lots of hard work went into many months of rehearsing for the night and we were thrilled to see all of our school values on display.

Thank you to Kate Divett (Project Leader of the Arts) for her enthusiasm, passion and talent which ensures the success of our student performances at the music festival.
