Cultural Blues
It has been an incredible year of artistic and cultural achievement at our college!
Culture has a strong and growing presence, with an increasing number of students involved in Pasifika, Kapa Haka, dance groups, bands, and visual arts through community exhibitions. Our kura is alive with creativity and continues to be recognised for excellence in a wide range of competitions - many of which were celebrated at our Annual Cultural Blues Awards evening on Thursday 16 October.
