Mount Victoria

This picture is looking from Mount Victory down to Wellington Harbour and City.
Have a problem with my camera at the moment so there won't be any pictures for a while.
The camera only swithes on when you bang it against something hard so have to bring it the repair. Hope it will be finished soon.

The RAT is in the house...

...but no panic it is a very nice rat, favourite place in the East school blazer, living at Kate's and Janet's.

Doing Photography

As some of ou know I have Photography as a subjet. An awesome thing I ve never done before. We learn how to develope negatives and print pictures in the darkroom. From now on till the end of the school year we work on our portfolio for the end of year exams. I want to take pictures around the theme of people reading in unusual places, that's by the way why Josh had to sit on the roof.

It's a tough Life

After a hard game of basketball against Wellington Girls College and a night at the rugby .. Wellington Lions beat Otago 68-7 on a cool windy night in the Capital .. so naturally I was very tired and fell asleep in front of the fire again

Te papa goes wild

Lili head to head with the stag. They said it was stuffed but i could swear it moved. Any way the picture was taken in the New Zealand National Museum: Te Papa. Free entry and a lot of interesting things to see, for example a shaking house that gives you the feeling you are in an earthquake. Really cool stuff there.

Harry Potter downunder

SO that's the the railway station a little bit transformed, Lili tried to get through the wall but didn't work. Well, maybe because we are muggel...

The Weird World of NCEA

If u are wondering what this pig is doing on my blog, well, ur probably not thinking of Maths. Had an Algebra Assesment on friday, actually pretty easy, any way, there was this question: A pig is flying in the sky, (then an equation...) t is the time from when a passenger in an airplane spots the pig, find out how long it takes until the pig reaches a higth of 9000 metres....yeah thats excactly what i thought. Who ever had the idea for this question...awesome!

The singing lesson - year 12 drama production

On monday was the performance of the play "the singing lesson". My drama class practiced very hard for several weeks. The play tells the story of two women teachers, one living in 1918, the other living today and the classes they are teaching with their problems. We performed in front of a small audience in the hall and the performance was a success. Had a lot of laughing.
There are some pics from the rehearsals.

Cars and Trucks Ball

Excitement on Saturday. Cars and Trucks Ball at Lifepoint. What does that mean? Well, you have to dress up as some kind of part of the road. Had a great time as a trafic light.

Stage Challenge

Stage Challenge is a big event in the school year all over New Zealand. The schools have to create a dance performance and have to organise everything themself (costumes, props, etc...) One evening the schools perform and judges decide which school had the best concept. And this year...yeah!!! East made the seconde place. Our theme was the journey of a group of sailors trying to find treasure. Here some pictures from the full dress rehearsal.
