8 Tuesday November 14 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi NOR’WEST NEWS SHOWTIME: The cast from Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and Christ’s College will perform their version of High School Musical next week. Extra night announced for Rangi, Christ’s sell-out show WHEN DISNEY’S High School Musical hit television screens 11 years ago, millions of people tuned in. While not as many will see the Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and Christ’s College version, all six shows sold out in one day. Director Hannah Clarkson confirmed an extra show has been added to the season. Rangi Ruru director of theatre arts Peter Rutherford said he’s thrilled with the speedy sell-out. “High School Musical remains one of the world’s most popular television films ever and I am sure that has played a significant part in tickets selling out in a day,” he said. Musical director Henare Kaa said everyone has been humming the music since rehearsals began. “The songs are really catchy, I can’t get them out of my head. The cast and crew are having a ball in rehearsals and we can’t wait until opening night.” With a plot described by the author and numerous critics as a modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, High School Musical is a story about two high school juniors from rival groups – Troy Bolton, captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella Montez, a shy transfer student who excels in mathematics and science. A additional matinee performance is being planned and will take place before November 22. •Tickets will be available at www.rangiruru.school.nz or at the school office • By Julia Evans THE COUNTRY’S top speller headed back to her former classroom to let Selwyn House pupils in on her secret to success. St Margaret’s College student Lucy Jessup won the New Zealand Spelling Bee in October. But her love for words started long before then. “I’ve always loved reading and writing from a young age. By the time I was about fouryears-old my granddad and I would read child encyclopaedias together, and my grandma has always given me books and recommendations,” she said. The classroom at Selwyn was really where Lucy began to hone SCHOOLS NZ’s top speller back where it all started the craft. She puts her success down to reading. “The best way to improve your spelling is to read a wide range of books that you enjoy. If you enjoy what you are reading and are interested by it, it is easier to become interested in the words themselves.” Selwyn House team leader for years 1 to 3, Gill Patterson-Kerr, said it was fabulous that the year 3 pupils could welcome and spend time with Lucy. “All the girls reflected upon their spelling programme and could imagine that the result of their efforts could see them achieve at this level,” Ms Patterson-Kerr said.
