What’s happening?

Studio Pacific Architecture

This week the Year 12 and 13 Design and Visual Communication Students visited Studio Pacific Architecture on Cuba Street. It was really exciting to see the way that they work and co-design with local Iwi on their projects to fully understand the context and stories of the whenua and how that should not only influence but drive their design. They were very generous with their time explaining what they were about, how their company works, the life of an architect and designer and everything that it entails. We heard from a company director/owner, a senior designer, a landscape architect and a graduate architect. We all left feeling totally inspired!

Achievements

Manawatū Jazz Competition

On Saturday we took the Wellington High Big Band and three jazz combos up to Palmerston North to compete at the Manawatū jazz competition. The students were all awesome and such a pleasure to travel with. Miro Holland won the award for best trumpet and Kindekel Banda-Moyes won the awards for best big band drummer and best overall musician. We also took away the top Big Band award which is an amazing achievement! Big shout out to John Rae for his mentorship of this group.
