Well, that’s a wrap!

Weeks of preparation, creativity and hard work came together last night as we proudly presented our 2026 school production, From Moana to Maunga. What a night!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support us at the stadium. We hope you enjoyed watching the show as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Thank you to our parents and whānau for the time spent making and sourcing costumes, and for helping with preparations on the night.

A very special thank you to our ākonga, who worked so hard learning lines, songs, dances and actions. Your enthusiasm and commitment made all the hard work worthwhile.

To our amazing staff and production team — thank you for the countless hours spent choreographing, creating costumes and props, working on scripts and lines, recording, rehearsing and bringing the whole production together, all while continuing with your everyday teaching. You are absolute legends!

Thank you also to TSH and the TSB Stadium team (NPDC) for your support in helping us bring the show to life.

Most of all, it was wonderful to see our ākonga performing with such confidence, enthusiasm and pride. We hope From Moana to Maunga is an experience they will remember for many years to come.

Thank you, Welbourn community, for helping make it such a special night.

Last day for YUMMY STICKERS is tomorrow 25 September. Thank you for those we have received so far. Amazing!🙏🏼😁

Tomorrow is the night! There is a buzz around school at the moment and lots of excitement in the air. Tickets are now SOLD OUT!

A reminder that we are rehearsing at the stadium for the majority of the day tomorrow. Please ensure students are at school on time, as buses will be leaving at 9.15 am.

Note: Students will return to school for the end of the day and be dismissed as usual. Whānau are to bring them back to the stadium between 5.20 - 5.40 pm.

Looking forward to seeing you there. Enjoy the show!

Dear whānau, parents/caregivers
Thank you for supporting our students in their performance of ‘From Moana to Maunga’ coming up next Wednesday (23 September). The practices have been going well and it is sure to be a wonderful show.
Things you need to know…
● Please be at the TSB Stadium between 5.20 and 5.40 pm (note: doors will not open until 5.20 pm). Students go to the left once at the entrance, and the audience goes to the right.
● Children are to wear what their teacher has asked them to wear (please leave jumpers, etc with audience members).
● A QR code will be sent home via HERO and posted on Facebook sometime this week - scan this to access the detailed programme. We recommend that you do this prior to attending the performance, as a simplified paper will be available on the night.
● The show will run for approximately 1 ½ hours, so it should be finished by 7.30 pm.
● There will be some accessible seating available on the courts. We ask that these be left for those who may struggle to go up the stairs.
● The seating in the bleachers is a little hard, so you may choose to bring a cushion to sit on.
● Thank you to everyone who has already purchased tickets for the show. A very limited number of tickets are still available from the school office. If you have requested extra tickets, these are being held at the office. Please collect and pay for these by the end of Wednesday, 16 September. If not collected by this date, they will be available for others to purchase from Thursday, 17 September.

We hope you all enjoy the show.
