On Tuesday the 25th of June, James Hargest Junior Campus headed to the Civic Theatre for a day of Showquest fun! We had worked on creating our performance, Opportunity Overload, over the course of Term 2 with the help of Senior Campus choreographers Katelyn Street-Wilson, Charlotte Blair, Anahera Unahi and Kayla Harding. Our story focused on a student making the most of every opportunity that school can provide – excelling and enjoying academic, cultural and sporting endeavours. Unfortunately, his worries were also along for the ride and began to overwhelm him as he raced from one opportunity to the next. The weight of these worries threatened to overcome him, but he soon realised, with the support of others, he could make it through.
The hard work, time and practice paid off and we won the Junior category! This means we move on to the National Digital Finals in August. We won Best Drama, ZM Soundtrack Award, Best Lighting and Highly Commended Choreography. We also won the Public Speaking Award and Liam Templeton won one of the Whetū Rangatahi (Star of the Show Awards). We’re so proud of the teamwork and talent displayed by all the students and can’t wait to see how the National Finals go!
