Kia ora koutou, <\/span><\/p>

We hope you have all had a good week. We have been busy bees in our hub! This week, our tamariki enjoyed watching the staff vs students netball game and there was a lot of excitement and cheering. We were also looking forward to a tug of war between the houses today but unfortunately, it was called off last minute due to bad weather. Hopefully, we can rearrange it for another time! <\/span><\/p>

Beckenham's Got Talent<\/span><\/h3>

The student council is excited to be running another talent show this year. There has been a lot of enthusiasm for this and lots of brainstorming amongst the students. At this stage, our students have been given the opportunity to sign up for this during our morning notices. Wh\u0101nau can also email their child\u2019s homegroup teacher to sign them up if they wish. <\/span><\/p>

When the students are planning their act, it is important to note that the maximum group size is eight people. The maximum performance time is four minutes and we encourage students to be able to perform their act for at least 1 minute. Students will have the opportunity to organise and practice during Discovery time. <\/span><\/p>

The auditions will held in week 8 within our hub. We will then narrow it down to 4 semi-finalists who will perform for the whole K\u014dwhai hub and 2 acts will be chosen to go through to the finals which will be held in the hall on Friday 19th of September. Good luck!<\/span><\/p>
