Bullying in our schools
Recent research into the experiences of 15 year old students internationally has been revealed through the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA 2015) report. New Zealand does not do well at all: second to last among 51 countries. Currently 19 schools in NZ have adopted the KiVa anti-bullying approach and their data looks very promising, just as it has already shown in Finland and other countries. Finnish nationwide data shows bullying rates declining each year since the start of their KiVa implementation eight years ago.
Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival
New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.
Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.
Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
