Festival Of the Arts - Rafiki In Real Life!

So today I got a chance to sing some parts in the song circle of life, but I'm still Rafikis understudy just in case. I was really excited and I'm pretty sure I did very well.

I have a lot of culture pieces of clothing that I could bring to make my costume of Rafiki. I also have this dark brown spiral necklace that my mum got from Samoa, which I'm going to wear in the musical.

I am also a barb singer. I'm singing some parts in 'Circle of Life' and a little bit of 'Can't wait to be King'. There are high notes in the song 'Can't wait to be King' that I will be singing and I am trying my best to hit those notes.

Again, I am so excited to play and perform as Rafiki in the musical!

Young Leaders Day!

I had a great opportunity to go to this year 7 leadership program at Christs College which I found out is a all boys school. I was picked as one of the 10 year 7 students to go and represent our school, Hornby High School!

What I really enjoyed in the year 7 leadership program is that I go to meet new people and have a friendship connection with them from other different schools. And the food as well! 

There was a guy called Cam that spoke after the introduction of the program. Picking up the key things from his experience that I know was, we should never give up and use resilience.

I learnt that I should never let anyone stop me from achieving my dreams and stand up for myself and be more confident. 

I am really proud for those 10 year 7 students who got chosen to represent our school!

Festival of the Arts - Getting Into Character!

Rafikis Understudy!

So today we got to find out we is our role in the musical theatre. I found out that I am a understudy of the character Rafiki.

An understudy is kind of like a back up character. For example: Pretend someone broke there arm and couldn't play the role of Rafiki. That is where I come in and fill in for that person.

But if I did get a chance I might wanna look like this:



In Rafikis role, he does the opening of the musical theatre and starts singing the song, Circle Of Life. What I think Rafikis job is to carry the Pride Lands history. Another fact you should know if you do not know who is Rafiki, he is a animal called a Mandrill.

I hope you like this post and please comment for any questions what so ever.
