Mahi Toi is about participation rather than competition but we still like a healthy element of House Competition.
This year House points will be for House Dance, House Karaoke, The Cluedo winners and Celebration Cakes泭(cake decorating)
Sign up for Mahi Toi events will be on the school home page/Arts website prior to the event and students will be notified in assembly when this opens. This year we have celebration cakes, photography/visual art, short films and performances for students to sign up for.泭泭

Students/Performances will be selected by the Art Faculty for the Thursday concerts in advance.
