Toki Production, ‘A Vacay, a Waka and a Kura’ was a sell-out success both nights.

A term of rehearsals, learning lines, choreographing dances, fitting costumes, making accessories, building props and coordinating 160 students to be on stage in the right place at the right time, we couldn’t be prouder of the students in this year’s Toki production, a modern-day twist on the story of how Three Kings School was gifted its name, Te Tātua o Rakataura.

I felt happy when we got to show our parents our dance. Ariel, Rm16

My highlight was that even though you didn’t have a speaking role you were still a really important part because of the dances and singing. Eesha, Rm20

I liked how everyone worked as a team and we all got through it in the time we had. Kaitlyn, Rm17

The production was spectacular; I was unable to look away when the performance started because everyone was so talented at the part they were given. Leah, Rm15

I enjoyed the class dances and the costumes. No one was left behind; we all did something. Tejbir, Rm18

It was a bit nerve-wracking walking onto the stage as there were a lot of people out there in the audience; but afterwards I was so relieved to have done it. Poppy, Rm17

I liked the production because I danced with a different partner and it was fun. Classy, Rm19

I thought it was scary when it was our turn to dance, but it turned out awesome. Nancy, Rm18

I liked how we got to do something together that we normally don’t do and that I don’t do outside of school. Sabrina, Rm20

It was great that the hall was full but also a bit scary. Centhor, Rm16

I liked how it helped build confidence. I’ve never done a performance before. It was cool dressing up. Myla, Rm20

I loved the beautiful face paint we got. Ashley Rm16

I enjoyed when we were getting ready and helped fix each other’s make-up. Savanna, Rm19
