Production Rehearsals Are Underway!
The Senior School teachers have been blown away with our wonderful students this term!
When they are not getting organised for debates or solving mathematical problems, there are students everywhere!
They are tucked in corners writing scripts, dancing around Room 21 organising choreography and costumes, out in the grounds creating art works for the foyer, putting together creations for Artsplash Art and Artsplash Dance, putting together music tracks and sound effects, learning about the technical requirements of a production, and lots, lots more!
Every student is taking a hugely active role and it is inspiring to see the whole team stepping up to make this term a success!
Here are some shots of just one small snippet of the production preparation...

Calendar Art for Room 22
Room 22 created art pieces based on the work of Wellington artist, Richard Ponder. The main ideas we were expressing were light, colour and texture. Exploration of plants and tussock outdoors helped improve the artistic eye to catch the texture, light and colour within the objects. Practising to capture these elements involved playing with coloured pencil sketches and led towards using paint and pastels. The results turned out well and some pictures really showed what we practised.
