Manaiakalani Film Festival

Sommerville Special School is part of the Manaiakalani Group of Schools.

Last Wednesday we attended the yearly Manaiakalani Film Festival.  The movies were shown at Hoyts Sylvia Park.  

The quality of the movies from the schools involved was outstanding.  

Students introduced each movie and the audience responded really well to the movies they saw.

Some of our favourites were St Pius X and their "Faith and Harmony' friendship song, Tamaki's 'Spray and Walk away' and Panmure Bridge's 'Swimming at school is cool'.  

If you click on the picture you can go to the official website and watch all of the movies!

Tamaki 4 celebrated Halloween last Thursday (31st October)  by dressing up and having an exciting party! 
Lots of our friends from other classes came along. We prepared Jack-o-lanterns for the day which everyone loved.

Here are some pictures from the day.
