Two takahe from the Whangamata Area School Production of Island Dreams. The song called Takahe Day was choreographed by senior students as part of their NZCA curriculum work.


The rats in Island Dreams had very cool rat masks.


Senior school art students designed this beautiful snail costume as well as many of the other creature costumes. They also designed lighting and ran many other aspects of their production.


The four pests (rat, cat, possum, and stoat) stole the show. That's how annoying they were.


The lizard head masks were gorgeous as well.


Various birds from the Whangamata Island Dreams production.


The Tui family from Parawai School's production of Home Free. Home Free was written especially for the 350 kids at Parawai. They wanted to have the entire school in the show so it was constructed to make this possible. The show was the centrepiece for a full term of environmental study around ecological issues.


Here the Parawai kids are being a lake. Each is wearing a wave on their head and is rippling under a large piece of painted fabric with holes in it for each wave/head.


Here the morepork is singing with the lakes and forest birds in Beachlands-Maraetai festival production of Home Free.
