Congratulations to Kaea Pearce Room 15.  Kaea recently represented New Zealand in the World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vagas.  She competed with various crews from around the world in the junior section (under 13) including: USA, England, Greece, Japan, Australia, Ireland, Mexico and Germany.

Her crew which are called ‘Bubblegum’ were placed 5th in the final having made it through the first round and semi final competition.  Kaea worked with her group every Saturday prior to the World Championships and they practiced for 6 hours in preparation for this event.  After the event finished she was fortunate to head up to Los Angeles and work with some world famous Hip Hop dance choreographers.

Congratulations Kaea, this is a significant achievement and you should be very proud of yourself – we are certainly proud of you!

 

Good luck to Olivia Koller (Room 11), Ellen Rowlandson (Room 3), Alesha Brokenshire (Room 15) and Gray Hardy (Room 19) who will be representing Belmont Intermediate School in the upcoming North Island School Ski Champs.
