Night time, Show time!
Thursday
5th May Yendarra School had the privilege of being both host and
sponsor for the Ted-x Manukau launch. Our school was dressed in white sparkling
with the colourful costumes, sound and smiles of our children who performed
traditional song and dance for 30 visitors. It was an exciting opportunity to
share our value of ‘manaakitanga and aroha’ with visitors to Yendarra.
Some
of our performers have shared their special memories of the night by describing
costume, sound and emotions.
For the Ted-x performance I wore a bright
orange Samoan Puletasi with a repeated white flower pattern across the entire
top. My hair was wrapped high on top of my head in a bun and to hold this in
place I wore a head piece that glittered with flowers. I was excited to perform
and at every moment smiled as best I could.

I
felt so lucky to have the privilege to perform at a night time event with all
my friends. I was in the choir and wore a beautiful black and magenta Samoan
Puletasi with magnificent blue and yellow flowers in my hair. Shiny oil
lathered on my skin which sparkled but made me feel really nervous at the same
time. I heard our guest clapping as we sang beautifully and as the groups
performed gracefully this made me excited.
