How I shone at Polyfest


A moment where I shone was at Polyfest, on Wednesday 5th of August. All the students, teachers & whanau of Corinna School gathered together as a family to perform at Hosanna Church of Cannons Creek.

The group I participated in was one of the biggest cultural groups in Corinna School, the senior Samoan pasifika group.

One of my biggest shining moments during this event was stepping out of my comfort zone, walking up onto the stage, feeling terrified & nervous, my heart beating 100% fast, like I was getting chased by 3 lions, trying to hunt me down.

During our performances, I shone by using my best self managing skills when I didn’t getting distracted from the audience, keeping my head held high & staying focused on our performance.

Another way I shone was when I was being respectful during the performance so I don’t get others distracted & being the best role model I can be.

As I walked off the stage, I felt very jubilant that my nightmare was over. It felt quite good when I was stepping out of my comfort zone because I was experiencing how it feels to be up on stage. I can hardly wait for the next polyfest.

Polyfest Learning Story

On Wednesday the 5th of August Corinna School gathered together as a whanau to perform at one of a kind churches Hosanna Church. 

The self managing skill I used was being respectful to others including the tutors so I could be able to listen to the instructions of what to do first, second and last.


The Polyfest group I was in was the Senior Samoan group which was the largest of the school.

We walked up on the stage feeling proud and confident.

We started off with a lovely song called "E Mua Mua" the K.C. skill I used was just facing one direction, only smiling at one direction.

The one thing I hated in the song was the chattering because it looked so ugly and they are also presenting our school in the wrong way.
