The Papatoetoe Chamber group participated in the KBB Music Festival on Monday morning. This year marked a special milestone, as it was the very first time we have taken a string ensemble to the festival!

We are incredibly proud of our students for their hard work, commitment, and performance. A huge thank you to the Tironui Music Trust and the AMAZING tutors for their guidance, expertise, and unwavering support in helping our young musicians thrive.

Super proud of our muso kids and the effort they’ve put in over the last few days to make this happen. Our music department has had a busy few weeks — all gas, no brakes — and we’ve been incredibly fortunate to have these opportunities come our way.

Shifting the classroom into real life settings where true growth happens; tonight was an example of that for our kids.

Thank you to for having us! South Auckland represent 💯🤍

We are super proud of our kids for all their hard work the last two nights to pull together their sets. Every opportunity is a learning opportunity! Today was the perfect setting for us to celebrate each other, and we’re excited to see what the rest of this year has in store for us 😊💯

Thank you to Favona Primary for coming to support! And all our friends and family 😍
