Cultural - Arts, Music, Maori

At Mosston we believe in developing the whole child and place importance on giving many and varied opportunities. To that end we have the following programmes in place:

• Kapa Haka - where children learn Te Reo phrases (reinforced daily in the classroom), waiata (songs), karakia (prayer) and haka.

• Choir - This is taken by one of our teachers Mrs Carter. The children interested in choir can also participate in the Kids for Kids performances with Suzanne Prentice which comes to Wanganui bi-annually.

• Music lessons – Lessons are available (depending on demand) in ukulele, drums, and guitar. Music lessons are usually delivered outside normal class time.
  

• Speech – Every year the children write and deliver speeches. Those of a high quality compete in the West Cluster Speech Competitions at Faith Academy (judged by the Toastmasters). In 2011 Mosston took the top three places in our grade.
