There is a full account of the night with lots of photographs on the Tamaki College PE page. You will find the link down the side of this page. Come and check it out...
Tctv were delighted today to meet Elizabeth Mitchell, the producer of Bro' Town. She came to St. Pius school to talk to the students there and from other schools in the area about the process they go through to create an episode of the top New Zealand show. Two of our Year 12 students, Mikaira and Francis, were at the talk and they found it very interesting to hear how Bro' Town was started and how they created the characters for the show. We saw videos of how an episode was put together and we were delighted to see a special video from Oscar Knightley with a message for the students. Highlights included :- seeing how they used photographs of the actors to help develop how the characters looked, seeing early versions of the characters and how they have changed and seeing how they get from their initial ideas through to the final episodes.
We are really delighted here at Tamaki College to be celebrating over 1000 visitors since we started in April this year. Well done to all the students who have worked hard at TCTV this year !!!
It's a very busy week for 9RNi here at Tamaki College. They are involved in the Manaiakalani Film Festival in November and they are working hard on their entries. They are creating their movies in Movie Maker based on their work in Miss Dale's English lessons about Myths and Legends. So far they have been learning all about using Photoshop to cut up and arrange their chosen images and to create animations. Today has seen a huge amount of activity to get these elements ready to go into their final movie. Here are some photographs from the day...
This is TCTV reporting to you about our word of the week here at Tamaki College. It is "Contributing", and this week has been all about how everyone joins in with things that are happening, both in the college and in the community. Our Prefects and Sports Academy students went up to Point England School this week to help out with their international sports day. C.J from the Year 10 news team went up to film what was going on and the editing was done by Emma, from the Year 12 team.
Aquilla went to Point England School today to video Peni while he played the drums in assembly. Mr. Burt knew that Aquilla had competed in the MSSPA finals last week as well as part of the Boy's Chorus. He couldn't resist the chance to get Aquilla up in front of his assembly to sing. If you want to catch Aquilla and the Boy's Chorus, check out the Music at Tamaki College page...
Point England School were so impressed by Peni's drumming in the MSSPA finals last week that they invited him to come and play in their assembly this morning.

TCTV talks to Flossy Tangata, who reports back from her experience at Outward Bounds.
Being at outward bound was a really great experience for me. I left Auckland on the 2nd of August 2008 knowing that I had no confidence in myself and knowing I didn’t believe in myself. Being at outward bound for 21 days changed my life. It made me build up my confidence and helped me believe in my self a lot more. It was very challenging for me and others at outward bound. At first it was hard for me but in the end it was worth the hard work and I completed it to the end.
The things we did at outward bound were tramping, kayaking, sailing, rock climbing and high ropes. We also did a six day journey and we walked 71 km in four days. It was really hard and was really challenging when we sailed from Ship’s Cove all the way back to Anakiwa.
If I was to recommend this to others, I would say go hard and do the best you can and enjoy every minute that you can. This changes peoples life’s like it changed mine.
The Tamaki College school ball was held on Saturday 16th August. The event was held at Romfords at the Tamaki Yacht Club.

TCTV was on hand all night to record all the festivities...
