Melville Intermediate - Cultural Dances from CPA

One of groups assoicated with students from Melville Intermediate School is our CPA (Cultural Performing Arts Group).  The group consists of Melville Intermediate School students who are tutored in different cultures who perform during the year and visit other schools.   In 2013 our CPA had an afternoon performance on 27th November 2013 at Melville Intermediate School for the local community.  These highlights from the show were filmed by Nichola from Room Five and edited and processed by Levi and Nathan H.

The Tahitian section was taught by O'Shaan Fletcher which was really fun and it was taught in term 3. The first item was called Fakateretere and the second item was called Te Tamamaohi. It is a dance that expresses your feelings. The Tahitian section is really fun because you will experience the exciting parts of dancing. Written by Hossana.

The Hawaiian section was taught by Karlene Guzzo, it was fun because you get to learn the different types of implements that Hawaiian has and how fun it is to play. the Hawaiian items that we performed were pearly shells, lilo stitch and implements. in the Hawaiian section you will experience how fun it is just like Tahitian.  Written by Hossana from Room Two.

Melville Intermediate - CPA @ Hilda Ross 12/11/13

On Tuesday the twelfth of November the Melville Intermediate School CPA (Cultural Performing Arts) Group performed at Hilda Ross Retirement Home.  All the students were very excited by the time we got there.  The audience welcomed us onto the stage.   We performed a variety of cultural items which the audience enjoyed; very much.  First we performed a Maori item, then Hawaiian.  After Hawaiian it was Tongan.   Last of all it was Tahitian.   After all the hard work and effort we were served with refreshments.  After drinking our juice and eating our chocolate we got into the bus and waved goodbye.  Recount by Hossana from Room Two.
