Our two Arts Captains, Micaela Fleming and Tyler Clarke, launched a new event for Katikati College with Divas and Divos last week - a fantastic opportunity to showcase our solo artists.

The Hall was packed with a very appreciative audience and we were entertained by MC's Ethan Morse and Finn Chinnery along with 14 talented solo acts.
