Manaiakalani Film Festival

Excellent presenters practised and practised until it was time for their turn to present their movie.

On a bright sunny Wednesday Pt England School had the chance to go to the Manaiakalani Film Festival. The Manaiakalani Film Festival is held at Sylvia Park once every year. For the past 5 years the Manaiakalani film Festival has screened movies from schools around our cluster.

It all started at Tamaki College......the first Manaiakalani Film Festival. Children around our cluster had the opportunity to enter this fine competition to make it on the biiiiiig screen at Sylvia Park.

“What a beautiful day” I thought looking up at the clouds wondering what might happen as we boarded the bus. Team 5 had split into three buses. Room 20 and Room 19 in one bus. Room 21 and 22 in another. Finally Room 18 in the last bus. Laughter and horrible singing was shared among the bus that I was on. “HAHAHAHA!” Girls laughed at the boys that were trying to sing.

Finally we came to our destination......Sylvia Park. We were all anxious to pick our seats in the theater at Hoyts Cinemas. Running up the stairs so they can get some seats everyone was determined to watch the movies.
My favourite movies were “The Test” by Room 18 at Pt England SChool also “I know I can” also by Room 20 talented kids at Pt England.
