Annual School Production
Well done to all our students who put on a great production in the last week of term 2. This was a great opportunity to showcase our oral language learning.
Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, friends and members of the community who attended our concert, we know you would have enjoyed the variety show.
Thank you to all those involved in any way with this concert, which includes :
Our talented students, Russell Knight for the stage, all parents who helped out with their time and support with costumes, helping students learn their lines etc.
June for helping the students make supper and Pat and her helpers with serving supper that night.
The Apiti Playcentre, Cheltenham School and the Kiwitea senior students for attending the dress rehearsal.
Dear Apiti School,
We would like to thank you for inviting us to watch your
production/concert.
It was fantastic and very entertaining with lots of
variety. The plays were great and very humerous with a couple of funny
slip-ups. We enjoyed it so much and would love to come and see more of your raw
talent.
Yours Sincerely, Room 3, Kiwitea.
