POLYFEST 2017
thursday 30 march 7-9pm theatre
Over four hundred Avondale College students sang and danced their hearts out at Polyfest last week. With thirteen different cultural groups performing, we were the largest contributor of groups across the Diversity and Cultural stages. We were also well represented in the speech competitions on the cultural stages, and three of our students were awarded prizes for their speeches. In all, over 9000 secondary students took to the stage over the four day event, and more than 90,000 people attended. A huge thank you to all our wonderful students, staff, parents, family members, ex-students and tutors who came together to create the superb performances that showcased such pride in culture and in the College. See page 2 for results. Groups: Diversity Stage: Chinese, Fijian, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Sri Lankan, Thai, Tuvaluan Cultural Stages: Cook Island, Maori, Niuean, Samoan, Tongan
