He mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa
Bonjour à toutes nos familles

Production: The Number 7 Bus 

Thank you to everyone who came along and enjoyed our production yesterday!  We are immensely proud of all the children and teachers for putting in the hard work to create what has been referred to as “at total triumph” (by an impartial audience member…who isn’t me). 

It was quite the logistical nightmare to try to get everyone through, but by Joves I think we pulled it off.  Thank you all for being supportive of the chaos and going with it! 

Spotlight on Kōtare for a moment:
Check out these props!  Did Jonathan “borrow” the actual dairy signs? Yes he did, and look at the detail on those cakes!  Also, note the cacao nibs on the floor as the ground, which gave the room a chocolatey scent! It’s so impressive even without the stars of the show!
