<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">In the first week of Term 2, a small group of students travelled to Auckland City to hear the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra play a range of pieces from Vivaldi to Bernstein! As the <i>Eras of Music</i> were introduced, the orchestra grew in size and complexity, finishing with a piece by a modern, young New Zealand composer (which was a crowd favourite). It was wonderful to enjoy</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> the talents of Auckland's Orchestra in residence.</span></div>

The visual spectacle of sumptuous costumes with dramatic lighting and set proved to be the perfect backdrop for the talent of the NZ Opera society. Gorgeous solos and duos filled the air from Coloratura Soprano to Tenor characters - and the whole performance ended with the Chorus, soloists and Orchestra en masse in the triumphant happy ending!</span><br />

On 11 February, senior Art students visited the Auckland City Art Gallery in order to view work by contemporary young New Zealand artists and to become familiar with the gallery archive, which holds comprehensive and valuable information on each New Zealand artist. The students have to complete a written analytical study on a selected artist of their choice whose work they must view first-hand. The trip proved to be an extremely worthwhile experience and the students have become familiar with how to research and access information that they require to conduct their personal study. <br />

Stage Challenge is well underway this term already with dance groups being organised rehearsals being held in the Dance Studio at lunchtime. Olivia Harter and Sarah Haggerty are leading the team this year with expertise and enthusiasm. Our theme is a sad one this year based on the ultimate sacrifice of war. Fundraising is in action so a polite request please to eat lots of Cadbury chocolate so we can raise enough money for all our costumes and large props! Thank you.<br />
