Kohimarama’s Got Talent 2022

Kohimarama’s Got Talent 2022 has started with a bang!  We have completed the Musical Instrument section and were blown away by the array of performers.  We had whistlers, clickers, pianists, guitarists,  a saxophonist, a violinist and drummers.  A big thank you to the performers who put themselves forward to share their creativity with us, you were brave, talented and awesome.  Here are our place getters and highly commended musicians.  Tomorrow we have the Singing section and on Thursday we have Comedy or Magic.  We wish our performers all the best.

Results from the Musical Instrument Section:

• 1st = Jessie L and Liz Z
• 2nd   Natalie Q
• 3rd    Thomas O
• Highly Commended:  Gabriel Z, Anna H, Amy D, K Z and Anjay H

Athletics Day

What a fantastic day we had at our recent  athletics day..  All the children demonstrated our Kohimarama way. As with all school wide events our house captains rally the troops and encourage students in cheering for their house.  It was so pleasing to hear students encouraging each other from all houses and showing great sportsmanship. A big thank you to Mr Forbes for all the organisation and to all the teachers and parents who helped to make the whole day successful. We wish all those students selected to represent Kohimarama School at the inter school competition the best of luck.
