Get ready to paint the town green! We are thrilled to invite all students, parents, and whānau to join us for our St. Patrick’s Day Evening Market & Showcase on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. Held across the Bodkin Yard and the Auditorium from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, this family-friendly event is the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick in style. Our students have been working incredibly hard to create a vibrant marketplace full of handcrafted treasures, delicious food, festive treats, and interactive games, alongside creative activities like chalk art. Once you’ve explored the stalls, head inside for an evening of showstopping performances featuring our powerful Kapa Haka group, the high-energy sounds of The Late News Band, and the talented Madeline Homan, among others.
We can’t wait to see the community come together for a night of fun, food, and fantastic talent! Please bring cash - EFTPOS will be available.
