Our Annual Culture Festival 2018

Today was Glen Taylor Schools Annual Culture Festival and it was awesome! So many beautiful colours, music, yum food, awesome dances and entertaining intermissions. Our student leaders had hosts the festival today and we did a pretty good job! I loved getting to see all the different tastes of dances and music from every culture group and everyone was absolutely stunning in their awesome uniform! I was in the Samoan group and it was very fun performing on the stage, even though it was very very hot. Island plates were on sale also some homemade/shop sweets from parents! It was a fun, relaxing and exciting day and because it was my last Culture Festival at Glen Taylor School, it was the best!

Here are a couple of photos taken from today! Enjoy!

Pasifika Pearls 2018 ( O.G )

This year Pasifika Pearls is now taken over by... the one and only MISS SIALE! The year has zoomed by so fast that the O.G Pearls have already had a performance. We performed in front of around 230 people last night in the school hall! Sadly the O.G Pearls are starting to decrease as we only have 5 people in our group and next year there will be only 3! Wow! 

Anyways, last night was one of my favourite pearls performance because we all looked very pretty and we also performed a new Fijian Dance! Thanks to Miss Tupou and Whaea Pene for helping Miss Siale out with our costumes and hair! 

Here are some photos and a video of us girls getting ready for our big performance!

Family Fun Day

Today I attended Glen Taylor School's Family Fun Day. Family Fun Day is a chance for parents to meet the principal and teachers of there children. There was also music, sausage sizzle, Mr Whippy and the swimming pool was open! I had a lot of fun dancing to the amazing remixes from DJ Vino! There was also a bouncy castle and different tables set for people that came in from the community! Like Marist Rugby Club, SKIDS and the TRC! Here are a couple of photos from Family Fun Day!

You thought the bouncy castle was only for kids!

Prize Giving 2017

Today Glen Taylor School had there amazing Prize Giving in the Park for 2017! Just like last year the school decided to have the prize giving outdoors - (This is why it is called Prize Giving in the Park!) There was a lot of awesome students that were awarded some academic and leadership awards. There was also a lot of parents and relatives there to cheer for there kids as they happily strolled onto the sage to get there prize! There was music, performances, food and a lot of happy faces! We had an incredible time and we can't wait for next year!

Put on your DANCING shoes!

From Olden Days to Pop to Dancing to Latest to R&B to remixes to DJ Vino's Original Jams.

 Today in the evening Glen Taylor School had a fun and brilliant disco. There were students, teachers and even parents breaking it down on the dance floor. Thanks to DJ Vino for playing our awesome jams. Also thank you to the friends of the school for organising this event!I myself attended the disco and I can assure you that it was AWESOME! Sadly it was the last disco of the year but it was surely a great way to end our incredible year.

Glen Taylor School Athletics 2017

 day with running, sports, fun activities, water activities, outdoors ALL DAY, music, slip and slide, tug o war, food, zumba, laughter and SMILES! I know I would! 

Today Glen Taylor School had ATHLETICS for 2017! Everyone had a lot of FUN and it was great to see bright smiles everywhere! It was great to see everyone showing there house spirit while cheering for there fellow house mates. In the first block we started of serious with our sprint races and high jump. The teachers recorded the winners for each year level! We then got a chance to munch on some of the treats and food that was being made in the kitchen by Miss Siale and her special helpers. We also had some teachers working on the grill frying up some sausages! Once the bell went everyone went back to there house groups to enjoy the fun activities that were yet to be played. We also had ZUMBA because it started to rain. During lunch water was being splashed on everyone and in the last block we had relays! Her are some photos!

Dance Battle

One of Glen Taylor School's year 6 student has decided to take on Mr Shanks. They have been going on and on and on about who is the better dancer. Well, today we found out who it was. All the middles and seniors were there to judge. Everyone  screamed "OH YEAH" for Lexiannah and Mr Shanks. The winner was judged on who's "OH YEAH" was louder. It was a tight competition but at the end of the day our winner went home with a memory that wouldn't be forgotten.

🎉🎏🕺🎶CONGRATULATIONS MR SHANKS! 🎉🎏🕺🎶

Volleyball

Today we had our last session with our instructor Toni. Toni is our instructor for volleyball. For today's session we had competitions and played volleyball games. Everyone had lots of fun and enjoyed the music in the background. The winners of the competition and the games had got lollies from Toni. Take a look at some photos from today's session.

Glen Taylor School's Disco

Today I attended the school disco that was planned by our friends of the school. I had a lot of fun dancing with my friends to the groovy music, singing along with the songs that DJ Vino played and most importantly having the time of my life. The lights were beaming here and there and the hall just kept on getting crowded with people. I even saw some parents taking on the dance floor and showing of their moves. Not just parents but also teachers. Me and my friends danced until our bones broke apart. We sang as loud as we could until our lungs went flying away. There was food on sale and glow sticks but once the clock hit 7:30 sadly it was time to go home. I will never forget tonight! Here is a slideshow of some photos that were taken.
