BACKOur Mid-Bays Kāhui Ako is committed to strengthening cultural connections and deepening understanding across our schools, whilst also fostering relationships between older and younger students. In week 3 of this term, our Chinese and Korean cultural groups visited Browns Bay and Pinehill Schools, where they showcased vibrant performances representing their cultural heritage.
The Chinese group performed a traditional circle-fan dance, the elegant sleeve dance, and an impressive diabolo display. The Korean group captivated audiences with dynamic taekwondo demonstrations and the graceful Korean fan dance. The performances were outstanding, and the primary school students were thoroughly engaged and inspired by the talent and energy on display. It was a privilege to witness our students perform with such passion and confidence.
Following the performances, our students stepped into the role of teachers, leading workshops in taekwondo, diabolo, and Chinese and Korean fan dance techniques. All students had the opportunity to try something new and rose to the challenge with enthusiasm.
This was a wonderful opportunity for our Chinese and Korean students to proudly share their cultures and serve as role models within our Kāhui Ako. It also allowed all students to develop a greater appreciation for the richness of these cultural traditions.
