More than just a show!

I really enjoyed the "Rewind" Electives show at the end term for many reasons. Firstly it reinforced to me that a wide experience rich curriculum is really important if children are to grow into well rounded people. We will continue to resist external influences that would push us towards a narrow curriculum. Some of the other positives from the show for me were:

* Every child in the show had their moment on stage and the joy in their faces!

* The chance to perform in a real theatre on a big stage

* The variety of talent in every age group, singers, dancers, artists, theatre, kapa haka

* The opportunity to be part of a bigger team with all ages

* It helped children develop teamwork, respect for others,  hard work and discipline, cooperation, resilience.

* A chance to celebrate the arts as a community and just have fun!

I could go on but really it was just a fantastic night and so rewarding on all fronts. A final mention for the teachers and supporters who worked hard to give our children this opportunity. Thank you.
