On Sunday 14 October six Level 2 dance students performed in the Ignite show in Tempo Dance Festival. The students submitted two dances that they had choreographed a few months prior and had been selected to share their work among other student choreographers and performers from across Auckland. The students choreographed dance in groups of three as part of their internal assessment work based on poems from the famous NZ poet Hone Tuwhare. The students performed beautifully across the two shows at Q theatre in the city. Students Tukotahi Mareikura Edmonds 12Whanau, Samuel Te Maari 12Whanau and Brandyn Talagi-Aholima 12Ta received an award for most effective motif on the evening.

BLOODY RENDITION OF “LORD OF THE FLIES” CREATES A BUZZ Term 3 was extra intensive for the Level 1 and 2 Drama students, as they prepared to perform the play of William Golding’s famous novel “Lord of the Flies”. Learning lines and rehearsing over 8 weeks (including after school and weekends), the students eagerly embraced the story of schoolboys who are crash- landed on a desert island, and must fight each other for survival. The play was directed by drama teacher Sarah Dillaman, who cast three separate groups to portray the key roles of Ralph, Jack, Roger, Simon and Piggy, over three performance nights. Audiences were in raptures about the students’ intense performances and their interpretation of Golding’s challenging story - where murder and mayhem erupt as friendships crack. The actors worked incredibly hard, both on stage and behind the scenes, and created a true theatre community which everyone agreed felt more like whanau than school. At the end of year Senior Awards, Harmon Fuli-Unasa 12Ll won the trophy for Best Male Performance for his portrayal of “Jack”. A genuine team effort, the set and props were created by various non-drama teachers who pitched in to run the special effects and act as stage managers on each night. With three quite distinct shows (owing to the different casts on each night), “Lord of the Flies” will be a play remembered by audiences and actors for years to come. Photos by Maddison Tuala 13Sp
