Kids in Town 2018

The Kapa Haka and Legends Choir performed superbly last week at the Art Gallery, as part of the
Kids in Town programme run by the City Council.

It is great to see so many of our whanau come along to watch and many visitors to the city
stopping to take in the music. Jamison and Brierley played a lovely duet on the cello and viola,
Mya and Abi did a tap dance, and Eva and Samantha danced.

Mighty Minnows have the Moves

The Mighty Minnows Dance Troupe ended the term beautifully for us at the final full school assembly. Thanks to Miss De Freitas and her Year 6 helpers for working with the group - we hope to see them dancing again before the end of the year.

Cultural Festival

On Wednesday we performed at the Christchurch Primary Schools Cultural Festival at the Horncastle Arena. We participate in this festival biennially, so it is an exciting performance for us. The festival runs all week and around 5000 students participated this year. We are very proud of our Hoon Hay performers. You can check out their performance and some photos below. Kei te whakahīhī tātou ki a koutou!

One of our Hoon Hay students, Sarah, also performed as part of the 

O'Neill School of Irish Dance group, as well as in the Kapa Haka. Awesome job, Sarah! We loved getting to see you perform. You can see the O'Neill School of Irish Dance performance below.

Hoon Hay School has always celebrated the Arts - it is an integral part of who we are and we couldn't live without the many opportunities to teach and learn about music, dance, drama, and visual art. We will post notices, information about upcoming events and photos of everything that is going on around the school.
