B PASIFIKA MAI TO PERFORM AT THE PASIFIKA CHALLENGE A passion for Pasifika dance has led to an exciting opportunity for our Pasfika Mai dance crew - they have been invited to perform at Eden Park on Saturday 31 August during the Pasfika Challenge II matches between New Zealand Heartland, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. Representing all corners of the Pacific, our students have spent many hours in recent months devising choreography which reflects the diversity of the group, and they have put together a vibrant, energetic performance that is sure to wow the crowds at Eden Park. It's not the only recent success for the group; after a very competitive series of heats, they have also been chosen to perform in the final of the Auckland-wide Stand Up Stand Out performing arts competition at the Vodafone Events Centre on Saturday 14 September. There is a special student ticket price of $15 for the Pasifika Challenge II Road to Japan event on Saturday. Click here for more information.

SCHOOL SHOW: IN THE HEIGHTS With opening night now less than three weeks away, the cast of In the Heights have been hard at work rehearsing and putting the finishing touches on the show. In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighbourhood – and taking the lead role of bodega owner Usnavi is David Tuitama, recently returned from his National Youth Shakespeare trip to London's Globe theatre. Also taking lead roles are our very own Head Boy Kiahan Simons-Tipau, Talent Quest winner Delores Lesatele, and Dance and Drama student Maddison Barnes. In the Heights is written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (who also wrote the award-winning Hamilton) and our Avondale College cast and crew are working hard to ensure this will be a show to remember! Tickets are now available from www.trybooking.com/CGN
