Final Assembly - Friday, 9 December 2011

Tomorrow is the final assembly with our year 8 students who will depart on Monday for their Doubtful Sound end of year trip.

As it is a very special assembly, we would appreciate it if the students in both the Rock Band and Senior Ukelele Orchestra are in tidy attire with clean shoes please.  The Choir will also need to be in tidy clothes and shoes(preferably Christmas colours).


Band musicians need to ensure they have picks, drumsticks, instruments and music organised before lunchtime.

The Senior Ukelele Orchestra need to have their ukeleles tuned and in position on the stage before lunchtime with their picks.

Thank you

Senior Ukelele Orchestra Perform in Arrowtown!

Our Snr Uke Orchestra (minus a few who were walking the Milford Track) performed in Arrowtown last Saturday playing 'I'm Yours' and 'Hey Soul Sister'.  They performed with great confidence.  Well done!

The Fairfield /Arrowtown Music Exchange 2011!

We had such an amazing time with the Fairfield School rock band students and their families.  One of our students described it as a home away from home experience.  I asked him if he was missing his mum and looking forward to seeing her and he replied...."No! I had a mum here in Dunedin just like in Queenstown.  What was there to miss? Why can't we stay longer Ms Neill?"

I guess that sums up our Fairfield / Arrowtown Music Exchanges.  It is a great experience for students to meet other children who are like-minded and love making music in a safe and secure environment.

Here are a few photos we took during our three days away.  We hope you enjoy them!
