Digital Learning & Communications at WSCW
A Spotlight on the Digiwise Panel
Our students/ākonga have the opportunity to join a ‘Wises’ panel – students in these groups focus on promoting sustainable behaviours aligned to our school values. The Digiwise panel works hard to promote online safety and a balanced approach to using digital tools. They raise awareness through the Instagram account @wscwdigiwise and school events throughout the year. Recently they were also able to give feedback on the revised digital user agreement, which you can see at the link below. With the end of the year approaching, I’d like to thank the Yr 13 students on the panel for the dedication and passion they’ve shown over the last few years. Special thanks to this year’s leaders Iona Wilson and Tobias Beaumont.
Digital User Agreement
All whānau & students/ākonga are expected to agree to principles in the digital use agreement on enrolment. These principles highlight their rights and responsibilities, and the role and responsibilities of the school. Students are reminded regularly of these principles. Our digital learning agreement can be found here. You can also access information about digital learning at WSCW on our website here.
Earphones
Please remember that earphones are a stationery item, and required by all students/ākonga. You can read more information here about the rationale behind this requirement and what earphones are suitable.
Teachers learning together
Every second Thursday before school we offer ‘E-cafe’ a chance for teachers to learn together about digital tools. It’s an opportunity for sharing and discussion about a rapidly changing space. Here’s a photo of a lively group discussion around the use of AI tools in the classroom.

Mini Arts Tour
In week 9 of term 2 a fantastic group of young creatives performed a selection of short works for Pasadena Intermediate. This is an annual event that we look forward to every year! We are always greeted warmth and enjoy sharing work with an engaged audience. The short programme we presented this year consisted of seven live works from Dance, Drama and Music, followed by showreels from Media and Visual Arts. The event was skillfully held together by our amazing MCs and Arts Leaders Ruby Judson, Isabella Benson, Oliver Burton and Ocsar Lyons.
Dance shared a selection of junior and senior choreography. Taaniko Lyon Elzen bravely opened the performance with a dance he choreographed in his year 10 Dance option that was inspired by graffiti art images of hands. Ruby Leota, Katinka Paul and Ria Yu shared a piece of level 2 NCEA choreography. This dance was titled ‘Distant’ and their intention was to communicate the idea of space growing. The final Dance item was a duet performed by two year 13 students Tamsin Theron and Oscar Lyons. Their Dance was inspired by reverberation. Tamsin and Oscar learnt this dance as a solo and then explored ways that two dancers can move together by adding connections, contrast and more….
Drama shared three short items from the year 9 term 2 option class. Darcy Armstrong, Toby Reece, Erika Orbell, Sienna Hayvice and Marni Gibson all presented short open scenes developed in class. In this process the students selected a script and developed their own given circumstances. Deciding on the who, where, what and why.
Music shared two solo performances. Year 11 Shakainah McLean recently took part in a 1 day workshop with ARO duo Charles and Emily Looker. ARO runs songwriting workshops focusing on storytelling and the power of language. Shakainah has since written two songs and we had the pleasure of hearing one. Year 9 Ivy Foster performed a stunning cover of Black by Black by Amy Winehouse on.
Media shared three short films exploring the style of a Western. Speedy Gonzales by Teina and Aiyana. Guns and Roses by Archie, Finn, Jacob and Frida and High Noon Saloon by Eemon, Cash, Issy and Te Whetu. Our final item before our closing karakia was showreel of Junior Art from years 9 and 10 2022 visual art learners. As well as showcasing subject specific techniques, elements and conventions these young performers shared vital and transferable skills that run across all arts subjects. Critical thinking, communication of ideas, creative problem solving, collaboration and curiosity.
A huge thank you to all of the Arts kaiako who supported this event.

Dance News – Trips and Street Dance guest tutors
This term the year 12 Dance class have been developing their understanding of hip hop and street dance with their Dance teacher Sam Wood Rawnsley. The outcome of this learning will be a NCEA performance assessment. Unitec and WSCW Dance Alumni Taniora Motutere has returned to share his extensive movement knowledge and teach two short sequences of movement. Students have learnt some fundamentals of popping and hip hop choreography. We are also fortunate to have Sherrick Martin return again this year bringing his experience in hip hop, commercial and contemporary dance. He is currently working with this rōpū on Afro beats and Dancehall movements.
WSCW Dance students benefit from observing and working with professional artists based in TAPAC, our performing arts venue. Last week, Samoan choreographer Tupua Tigafua returned to TAPAC to rehearse his work ‘Shel We’ before it tours NZ and Australia. Year 11 and 13 Dance were invited to join Tupua and his 4 male dancers in one of their morning warm-ups. On Friday afternoon students from Waiorea and the Dance and Drama classes watched ‘Shel We’ – a “comedy tragedy” inspired by Shel Silverstein’s poems. Fa’afetai tele lava Tupua and Le Moana for sharing your work with us.
Dance students have attended two other shows this term! Year 11-13 were in awe of the incredible dancing, sound and lighting in Auckland Arts Festival international dance performance ‘Revisor’ at the Aotea Centre. Year 10-13 Dance students were particularly moved by ‘He Huia Kaimanawa’, a dance that explores the “resurfacing, reclaiming and honouring of te reo Māori.” Ngā mihi nui Bianca for visiting the Year 10 Dance class and talking about the dance before the trip.
Junior Arts Festival 2022
In the final week of 2022, our Arts Departments shared a very special celebration of Junior Arts here in TAPAC theatre. Our foyer and theatre were filled for two sold out shows! Thank you to all of the kaiako and tauira who worked very hard at the end of a busy year to bring this event to life.

Welcome Arts Leaders of 2023!
This year we are fortunate to have four new creative and driven Arts Leaders joining our team. Oliver Burton, Oscar Lyons, Ruby Judson, Isabella Benson.
Hi! I’m Bella, one of the 2023 Arts Leaders. My experience in the arts is mostly in music. I play flute and piccolo. Throughout my time at springs I have played with various groups (including the WSC chamber group and West City Youth Band). Supporting others’ arts endeavours has always been important to me. I’ve also gone to lots of Springs’s arts showcases, including the Junior Arts Festival and the showcase of senior’s visual arts projects. I’m really excited to be more involved in supporting and promoting the arts at Springs this year!!
Hey I’m Ruby! I’m so excited to be one of the Arts Leaders this year. My main passion is visual arts, especially painting. In my spare time you will find me doing all sorts of craft projects and op shopping around the city. I’m looking forward to working with the other awesome arts leaders to bring you a very artful year here at springs!!
Hiya everyone! I’m Ollie, and I’m involved in the music side of the arts at Springs. I play violin, bass and saxophone and am in a number of groups inside and out of school. I can’t wait to get to know everyone so we can start planning all the ways to show off the arts and create collaborations not only between the students but the different types of art. I hope to see you around.
Hi, I’m Oscar Lyons and I’m so excited to be one of the 2023 WSCW Arts Leaders. I’ve always had an interest in the arts since I was able to walk. I’ve been involved with performing arts since I was 6, being involved in dance and drama classes. At the age of 9, I started to get involved in musicals and have been continuing it ever since. I was involved in the Junior Arts Festival in 2020, Year 11 Drama Production in 2021, Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Competition in 2022 and Year 12 Drama Production in 2022. I’m excited to be an Arts Leader this year because I want to be able to uplift the arts at WSCW. To bring more awareness and attention to the amazing young artists that we have at our school by promoting them with the help of the arts committee.
ARTS COMMITTEE Want to work with these awesome Arts Leaders to promote and support the Arts at WSCW. If you missed the signup it’s not too late to join.

Arts News
Skill building, creating, connecting, refining, rehearsing and much more!
It has been a busy term here at WSCW in all of the Arts learning spaces. This term has seen many performance and assessment events for Music, Dance, Drama and Kapa Haka. The Visual Arts spaces are now home to many ākonga busily working to meet their folio deadlines. Seniors have been involved in derived grade exams and option selection decisions for 2023. Not to mention the many projects our keen creatives take on outside the classroom!
Take a bow Arts ākonga and kaiako for your dedication to your craft, creativity and continued resilence. May these holidays be replenishing and allow space for you to appreciate the mahi you have achieved this term.
Term four…
In term four our seniors will complete the visual arts folios, sit external exams, perform in senior prize givings and for some of them say goodbye to WSCW and hello to the next chapter of life.
Junior Arts Festival. Wednesday the 7th December. TAPAC theatre. Show times TBC
As always, we will end the year with a celebration of the Arts at WSCW. If you are a junior student keen to take part in this event contact your Arts subject teachers.

Art News!
Extended Greetings
Spring has clearly sprung – and it really is the busy end of the year when senior students are starting to ‘live’ in the Art rooms in a concerted effort to complete their folio work before the term four deadlines. The Level 1 and 2 students should be on their final board and the Level 3 are close behind (although they have a later hand in time). As part of a return to pre-covid events – we will also be showcasing work from the eleven senior classes next term with the Media and Technology departments – so it will be well worth popping your head in for a quick catch up with students who are creating authentic shifts in their critical and creative processes.
As a department we had been fielding a number of inquiries about Art courses as Y9-12 students consider their subject choices for 2023. The coursebook information is clear and up to date – however if you require more specific course information, please contact

Lily Laita – HOD Art
In June of this year Charlie Hill and James Drake participated in The National Youth Theatre’s production, Oliver! This project commenced in 2021, navigated covid disruptions and came to the stage in June of 2022. Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with these two dedicated performers to share a little more about their experience.
What role/ roles did you play?
“ I played a house orphan and a posh person. I was part of the ensemble”. James
“ I played two roles. Noah Claypole, a speaking role and the knife grinder, a singing role and I was part of the ensemble”. Charlie
What did you enjoy most about performing in Oliver the musical?
“Getting to know the people and the structure of the show and also performing in the acts”. James
“Going up on stage. The frightening excitement is quite enjoyable” Charlie
What skills do you think you have developed during this time?
“More vocal skills. Working with others. Listening skills. Time management. Commitment. Timing – when to come on stage, knowing the running order of the show”. James
“Confidence to perform in front of others. Built some bravery. This is my second full show. Over the two shows seasons I have learn a lot about ensemble skills” Charlie
Next up for these young performers….
I recently sat my tap exam and received highly commended. Next term I will be taking Dance as an option at school. James
Coming up I am performing in the next National Youth Theatre Company production, Wendy. Charlie
