Welcome to Te Ahurei Toi | Voices– Our Celebration of the Arts!

We are thrilled to invite you to this year’s Te Ahurei Toi, a vibrant celebration of learning through the arts, where your children’s voices will come to life through creativity and expression.

A Relaxed and Enjoyable Evening

This year, we continue to embrace a more relaxed format to allow families to fully enjoy the artworks, performances, and delicious food available throughout the night. We will be starting earlier than usual to cater to our younger students.

Food and Refreshments

To cater to the large numbers expected, food trucks will be located at the front of the school in our new car park. This year, we have expanded our offerings to ensure a greater diversity of food options for all tastes and dietary needs.

Families are welcome to bring their food to the grassy areas near the playground or out the front – we recommend bringing a picnic blanket to sit and enjoy the evening.

Live Music and Performances

Weather permitting, student performances and music will take place on the deck space off LC12, creating a fun atmosphere for all to enjoy. If it rains, performances will be relocated to the gymnasium as part of our backup plan. We will share details of these performances soon.

Exploring Student Work

Each Learning Common will showcase student artworks and projects, all woven together through our theme of ‘Voices’ – celebrating identity, self-expression, and creativity in all its forms. More details about specific programming will be shared closer to the event.

Housekeeping and Important Information

✅ Respect Our School Grounds – Please dispose of rubbish in the bins provided near the food trucks and LC12.
✅ No Food Inside the School Buildings – To keep our learning spaces clean, we ask that all food remains in designated outdoor areas.
✅ Parking and Walking – The front carpark is reserved for food trucks, and the back carpark is for staff only. Given the high attendance, we encourage families to walk if possible.
✅ Weather Considerations – This event will proceed rain or shine. If it rains, we will move performances to the gymnasium, and covered areas will be available for dining.
✅ Toilets – Located between the gym and main reception. Student bathrooms will also be available throughout the school.
✅ Evacuation Point – In case of an emergency, the evacuation point is on the field between the hardcourts.

Payments & Dietary Needs
Most food trucks accept EFTPOS, but bringing cash is recommended. We’ve worked to include a variety of dietary options, and many menus can be found online if you’d like to check in advance. A school-run sausage sizzle will also be available as a budget-friendly option, with proceeds supporting school camps.

We look forward to celebrating this incredible evening with you – a night filled with creativity, joy, and the powerful voices of our tamariki. See you there!
