With the help of teaching staff and family, about 70 children aged 5 to 7 used unwanted materials to create costumes on the themes of Pasifika World, Underwater World and Out of this World.

Underwater World participants (from left) starfish Izaan Khan, 6, blue squid William Heperi, 7, red squid Agam Baidwan, 6, turtle Wyatt Beaumont, 6, and Jellyfish Easter Lee Cheung, 7 take to the stage.
"We were learning about reducing and recycling waste and thought ‘what better way to put learning into practice than looking round the the school for things we don’t use any more and making costumes out of them’," teacher Jaqui Clark said.

Dancing during the Pasifika World section are (from left) Elsie Ward, 7, Hadley Dickson, 6, and Harlan Cowley, 6.
Hula dancers, marine creatures and aliens finished up their afternoon show with high spirits to fuel their evening encore.
