Melville Intermediate - Pepe Pacifika 2011

Last Thursday Melville Intermediate CPA - Cultural Performing Art Group performed at the 2011 Pepe Pacifika festival in Hamilton. There were many other schools there including Frankton, Deanwell School and our friends from Hamilton East School. It was a windy day but the Melville Intermediate students looked stunning in their costumes and put on a great performance, complete with three costume changes. This is the Maori section on the day.
