OUR CLUBS
At Mahurangi College, we extend and challenge our students who are eager for more learning. Through clubs, students are extended and challenged beyond the classroom. They can try something new, seek even more knowledge, apply their learning in new contexts, hone their abilities and solve problems by thinking “outside the box”.

DANCE and HIP HOP
Dance club runs every Friday at lunch time for ANYONE who wants to dance. We try different styles of dance each week with no pressure to perform or even to remember the dance from week to week. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience or ability. Hip Hop dance club is every Thursday at lunch time, and anyone is welcome to join to learn key skills and sets in various styles of hip hop. This group will have the chance to perform in the dance showcase in term three if they want. For other dance opportunities, check out our two auditioned dance companies.
Teacher in Charge: Ms. E. Woodfield

DRAMA
Drama Club is a place where our students can enjoy learning more about drama through games, improvisation, and work on short scripts. We meet at least once a week (usually Tuesday lunchtimes) under the guidance of experienced drama teachers. In Term 1 students will be working on items for the SCGNZ University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival. This focus will shift later in the year as students begin work on the school production.
Teacher in Charge: Mr. J Dutton
