J Rock is a performance of music, dance and drama that ells a story. J Rock is Stage Challenge for primary schools.

This year we perform on Friday, June 11 at Founders Theatre. Our story is the Maori legend of the formation of the Waikato River.

We now have a soundtarck after a long afternoon with the sound man. And we have started practices. Time is of the essence….. less than 2 weeks until camp and then the following week it’ll be our performance! The countdown has started!

Below view some photos from our 2 previous J Rock performances in 2008 and 2006.
