PERSPECTIVE: different people have different ideas

This unit offers an opportunity for a real celebration of the Arts. This includes Visual Arts, Music, Dance and Drama through not only the work within students own classes but also through our EYES (express yourself electives) programme in weeks 5,6,7 and 8. We will be holding a celebration of the electives in the morning of Thursday week 10. 

Thanks to our whanau who are able to support us by leading or helping with the EYES programme. You will be contacted early next week to confirm further details.
