What a Night! Grossbusters Production Update:
Kia ora whānau,
We had an absolutely fabulous evening last night for the opening of our Year 5–8 Grossbusters Production! The tamariki performed brilliantly, and we are so proud of their hard work.
As we head into tonight's performance, please take note of these reminders to help the evening run smoothly:
Lead Actors, please arrive at 5:00 pm and head straight to Piata
All Other Students: Please arrive at 5:15 pm and head straight to their homeroom
Tonight's show is completely sold out, and no extra tickets will be available at the door. Due to maximum capacity restrictions, any preschoolers or children attending without a purchased ticket must sit on the lap of a parent or caregiver for the duration of the show.
Our friendly student ushers are there to guide you to your seats on the night. To ensure there is room for everyone who purchased a ticket, we kindly ask that you follow their directions and fill every available seat in the row without leaving gaps.
To ensure safety, and allow everyone to fully enjoy the live experience, no photography or video recording is permitted during the performance.
The show will conclude at approximately 7:30 pm. Please collect your children at 7:45 pm directly from their learning spaces (Auahiroa and Whēriko). Please ensure you have signed out with your child’s teacher before leaving, including lead actors. Prompt pick up is always appreciated.
Thank you all for your incredible energy and support. We look forward to another wonderful show tonight!
