The Arts
Moments to be captured
Haere mai to our new St Margaret’s whanau and welcome back to returning families! We have
a wonderful year in store for you, with many events where 'Capturing the Moment' will be easy.
Plans for this year include the creation of a Middle School Student Arts Committee to promote
and support arts in Year 7-10, regular evening “Cushion Cabarets” in our Ngaio Marsh Theatre
with participation from all age-groups, and the senior Christ’s College-St Margaret’s school
musical 'Singing in the Rain', to be directed by our own Elayne Buckler.
Our student Arts Council, lead by double trouble dream team Nina Hogg and Sammy McDonnell,
are well under way with scheming for Arts Week, to be celebrated in the last week of this term.
They will be drawing on this year’s theme for arty actions in the classroom and around the campus.
SMC talent has already been snapped up with Sammy McDonnell, Abida Denny, Sujean In and
Amy Chung selected for this year’s NZ Secondary Schools’ Symphony Orchestra, Alice Taylor
joining the 2017 Court Youth Company and Tigerlily Perry performing with last year’s company
in Robin Hood at Riccarton House.
Arts co-curricular sign up day went off with a bang in the first week of term, with hundreds
of girls and many family members filling our Old Girls Atrium. With over 40 different groups
on offer in Music, Dance, Drama, Visual Art, Wordsmiths, Innovation & Technology, there
is something to capture everybody’s interest!
