  Dance NZ Made 2025
  Mid-way through Term 3, two of our co-curricular dance teams competed in the Dance NZ Made competition. This was held at the Trusts Arena in Henderson.
  Both teams were led by students who came up with their idea and theme, chose and cut their music, created and refined their choreography, and trained their dancers for two rehearsals a week through Terms 2 and 3.
