Kaeo kids take to the stage
Almost the entire 134-strong roll of Kaeo Primary took to the stage last week to perform in the biennial school production. Held at Whangaroa Community Hall to sell-out audiences on Wednesday and Thursday nights, the show featured plays by the junior, middle and senior schools. The junior item was based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood while the middle school pupils went time-travelling on Burt Munro’s Indian motorcycle to visit iconic New Zealanders such as Maui, Kupe, Fred Dagg, Billy T James, the Topp Twins and Sir Edmund Hillary. Finally, the senior kids performed a play in which a bloke called Pinecone — aided by a courageous mob of sheep, a talking dog and various other animals — saved Kaeo Valley from the clutches of a greedy developer planning to turn it into an urban wasteland.
