Arts Week 2015

Arts week was a great success.

Children had the opportunity to participate in a variety of art forms from visual art to performing arts.  Lunchtime sessions such as craft in the library/learning hub, drawing on the pavement, performing resident musicians were a real hit with everyone!

Here is a selection of photos from arts week for you to enjoy.  A big thank you for everyone who helped make it such a success.





We also had Jam Bus www.jambus.co.nz which are a mobile recording studio.  Choir and Kapahaka were some of the lucky ones who participated in this.


This is a slideshow of Jam Bus setting up.
