Kuranui College from Wellington have taken out the
top spot in the National Final for Showquest, the country s
largest performing arts competition for schools.
The
Kuranui team themed their piece around the Waikeria prison
riots. Anna Laybourn, a student leader on the Kuranui
College team, explained they had decided on that theme
“because it wasn’t really talked about at all. It’s
pretty important and we needed to get that message out to a
bigger audience”.
In the Junior section, available
as an option for teams of students years 1-8, Levin East
School from the Manawatū region took out the winning spot
