Principal's Comment

Kia ora Kevinians and supporters of the College

Last evening I had the pleasure of attending the Opening Night of our 2015 production, Beauty and the Beast. Our cast have been rehearsing since early last term. and last night all this hard work came to fruition in a wonderful, high quality show. I am very proud of the cast, crew and musicians who have developed talents, and revealed and honed skills that many of the students did not know they processed.

I would like to thank specifically a number of people without whose support Beauty and the Beast would not have been possible:

• Our Corporate Character Sponsors: LJ Hookers Rentals, Spivey Real Estate, Jack Sutherlands Menswear, McDonalds Oamaru, Trident Homes Ltd, Lance Doren Automotives and GJ Gardener Homes. 
• The staff who have contributed hours and hours of volunteer time to give our students this opportunity: Athena Evans, Cathy Keep, Craig Mawson, Peter and Margaret Burton, Peter Fulton, Victoria Blair, Tiernach Farrell, Heather Mellor, Sara Plunkett, Tina Dooley, Joy Jackson, Phillipa Sutton, Aidan Haig, and Sue, Leanne and Sandra in the office for manning ticket sales. 
• Brendon Liardet and Helen Mulheron for their musicianship. 
• A special thanks to our Director Margie Newton and our Musical Director Trudy Foster, the dramatic and musical life forces behind Beauty and the Beast. 

Thank you and congratulations to the cast, crew and musicians on a wonderful Opening Night and we wish you all the very best for the rest of your season this weekend.

May God bless you all
Paul Olsen, Principal
