  Careers Week


By Gaberiel.

On Wednesday October 22nd, the Leolelei Singers went to St Kevins Church Hall to sing for Carers Week. Carers Week is for the people who look after other people like handicaps, old people, and other people who can't look after themselves. When we first got there, we went inside and we had to sit down and wait until it was time to sing. At 12.00 pm, the lady in charge of the whole programme told us that we were going to sing.

We first sang Waterloo, than we sang My Island home, then we sang Haere Ra and finished off with a Haka. Then at 1.00pm, the Carers Week provided lunch with us. After that, a group of ladies went on stage and performed for the old people. They told all of the Leolelei to come and sing with them. Then at 1.30pm, we left and came back to school. I had a very good time at Carers week.



The Leolelei

By Hayden.

On Wednesday October 22nd, the Leolelei Singers went by mini-bus to St Kevins hall at Dee Why to celebrate Carers Week. Before we went to Dee Why we had a quick practise in the Library then off we went to St Kevins hall.

While we were going we were practising the songs which were, '' We Go Together'', ''Waterloo'', ''Haere Ra'', ''My Island Home" and the "New Zealand Haka" lead by Gaberiel Paese-Sia

When we got to the hall I didn't know where to go but I followed the other singers.  When we got inside we saw nobody entertaining so we went inside and stirred things up!

We started with We go Together the crowd loved it! Then we sang Waterloo some people joined in, then we sang My Island Home, then to finish off the boys did the NZ Haka and the crowd exploded!

The audience requested that the Tongan‘s entertainment again, they did a Tongan dance and then sang a farewell song which was Haere Ra so we Joined in.

I had a great time and I learned new things.
