The Wait Is Finally Over

The Manaiakalani Film Festival was 24 hours ago. The wait was finally over and every schools movie was entertaining. I am proud to represent our film, which was entitled 'Rugby Values.' Our Year 8's gave handy tips about rugby, for example; discipline. Our movie had a clear message which was, The Benefits Of Rugby. We went to Cinema 3 to watch our movie. I was surprised to see all of Ruapotaka's classes make a short-film.

My favourite movie was 'The Time Machine,' by Room 7 of Point England School. It was unique and funny. I can't imagine what the bloopers would've been like.

Enjoy...

The Film Festival Is Soon!

The Manaiakalani Film Festival, is just around the corner. It will be on November 8th. The Film Festival is a local event for Manaiakalani schools like Ruapotaka School, Point England School and other schools around our Tamaki area. This is our School's third year making movies for the Festival.

For those who don't know what the Manaiakalani Film Festival is, it is where our Tamaki schools make short films and they get to showcase them at the Sylvia Park movie theatre. The Year 8's of Room 12 made a film, but I don't want to spoil it ....

Meafou and Vaimoana are our movie presenters. Personally, I think our movie will be one of the best this year, due to our amazing and entertaining actors.

🎥 Movie Making For Manaiakalani 🎥

On Wednesday, (about 2:20pm) Mrs Golder gathered the Year 8s of Room 12 into Room 11 to start thinking about making a new movie. Last year, our entertaining movie was called 'The Focuser.' The genre of that one minute clip was an advertisement that was selected by the Ruapotaka School staff members to be the best film of Ruapotaka School that year.

This year, our topic is based upon New Zealand history, which is very major to our school, simply because Ruapotaka is a Maori term. First we came up with an unanimous decision which was the Rugby World Cup 1987. Seven students outvoted the other six which is why we are focusing on that topic.

Everyone in the Year 8 cluster will contribute to this movie which we hope will be successful.
