Ellerslie Sunrise Rotary Club members attended the Bailey Road Schools Cultural Festival in Mt Wellington where all the pupils participated in an outstanding presentation of cultural dances from all around the world.  Brilliant costumes, well organized staging and four wonderful senior students who introduced each act with skill and humour.
 
First up was the Senior & Junior Kapa Haka Welcome.  This was especially special for Ellerslie Rotary as, with funds received from the Mazda Foundation Trust, the Lois Dalley Charitable Trust and Ellerslie Rotary Club, the children were able to wear the brand new Kapa Haka costumes featuring the schools’ special moto – The White Heron.  This is the first time Bailey Road School has had a complete set of Kapa Haka uniforms – something they will continue to use for many years.
 
The festival was a wonderful way to spend 2 hours – that is what Rotary is all about.  Feeling good – doing good.
