Annual Performing Arts Colours Assembly

Auckland Grammar School has a proud history of excellence within the Performing Arts. The School offers a variety of pathways within the arts for boys to develop and showcase their skills and talents. From Theatre to Drama, Cultural to Music groups, Debating and more, the Performing Arts are a fundamental component of our school and allow boys to reach the pinnacle in their chosen field. It was a privilege that last year we could institute the Performing Colour and that tradition can continue with recognising individual excellence from within the Performing Arts.

Each year, students perform on a variety of Performing Arts stages and contexts both within the School and externally. To individually excel at the highest level of their chosen field requires considerable dedication, commitment, practice and rehearsal.

On Tuesday 3 December, a number of students were recognised as having exhibited these strengths. Congratulations to:

• Form 6 student C. H. S. Cheung, awarded Colours for Violin
• Form 7 student W. Lee, awarded Colours for Viola
• Senior Prefect S. H. A. S. Peita, awarded Colours for Public Speaking (Ngā Manu Kōrero)
• Prefect C. R. Wedde, awarded Colours for Bass Guitar
• Prefect R. V. Williams, awarded Colours for Choral

In addition, three special awards were presented:

• The Performing Arts Excellence Award was presented to Prefect M. A Ramassh (pictured above)
• The Performing Arts Contribution Award was presented to Prefect J. B. Qi
• The Performing Arts Outstanding Performance of the Year Award was presented to Form 7 student P. C. J. Lu
