During Term 2, we are lucky to have trained dance teachers from ‘Dance Curriculum’ come in to teach an exciting dance programme to our learners.

This supports our curriculum and offers the opportunity for our learners and teachers to take part and learn from an inclusive and recognised dance company. Dean came into our school two years ago to teach a dance program and the learners loved it!

The programme offers an exposure to a range of dance such as hip hop and partner dance. These build on social and interpersonal skills as well as presentation skills. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to get all our learners involved in dance, run by trained teachers on site. More information can be found on their website http://www.dancecurriculum.com.au/. The programme builds up to a performance on a Friday afternoon where parents are invited to come along and watch the learners showcase the skills they have learnt and practiced. 

This will run for 9 days over weeks 1 & 2 as it allows learners to engage more in the programme as they have better memory retention over this time.

For us to provide this opportunity to our learners, there is a cost associated with this. The cost is $31.50 per learner and this can be paid in full to the school account (12-3153-0021818-00) with your child’s name and dance as reference OR it can be paid in instalments, please email accounts@westrolleston.school.nz if you have any enquires.

We thank you for your on-going support in allowing us to offer these opportunities to our learners.
