Maori Language Week




Te Reo Maori

As part of Maori language week Rm17 decided to create Maori place name posters that were phonetically spelled.  This means sounding out the word and writing it in an English equivalent to help pronounce Maori words correctly.

Film Camp

Film Camp 2013

After the great success with Rock Camp over the last two years, the
Playhouse has decided to host the very first FILMCAMP in the second week of
the October school holidays (Monday 7th till 11th ).

The camp is limited to 15 students aged between 9 and 15 and runs daily
from 9 till 4pm at the Playhouse. Participants will script, produce, film,
edit and screen their film over week, with help of Nic Roland as their main
tutor. Nic has a degree in Film and Media from Otago University is an ex
TVNZ News Editor and director, with extensive experience as a Television
and short film producer.

All aspects of making a movie are addressed during the week including
costume design, makeup, acting method, lighting, film history and
distribution. Kids will have a chance to film and edit their film over the
week with a grand screening of their work on the Friday Night to parents
friends and family.

This is a great chance for any young film maker, actor/actress, camera
person, editor, set and costume designer, makeup artist or general film
enthusiast to build new skills, meet like minded people and actually make a
movie!

The camp costs $350 for the week, which includes 3 meals a day plus
tutoring. For more information please call Nic Roland on 5402985 or email
