Our students shine in arts and cultural activities.

A wide range of cultural activities provides opportunities for students to develop talents, acquire new skills, and discover the work of other artists.

• Culture groups include our Kapa haka, Indian, African, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and our many Pasifika groups.
• Music and Drama opportunities include: school show, talent quest, a-cappella singing, jazz band and solo performances.
• Dance, Performance, and Media – we have more than 100 participants in our award-winning stage challenge entries. We produce plays and dance shows, and our annual Media awards showcase student-made films
• Art and Technology – our art exhibitions, auctions of student work, Wearable Art and Trash to Fashion all feature cross-faculty talent
• English and Languages – creative writing, debating, public speaking
• Arts and Culture Week celebrates achievements across diverse areas and we enjoy an annual Arts and Cultural Awards Evening, where we present our supreme award, Te Taumata Toi.
