Speaker 1 (00:01):
This Friday, Hampstead's School adding the roads to the event
center for the show Hempstead Roadies, which is super exciting because,
if I'm not mistaken, it's the first time that Hempstead
has put on a full scale production like this, an
original show that was created by one of the teachers
and also some past pupils that was put together. I
think about term one and then been piecing it together since.

(00:22):
The show taking us on a whirlwind and exciting journey
around New Zealand and along the way, showcasing some wonderful
aspects of culture, scenery, and wildlife. Four students were chosen
to lead the adventures Jayler, Ashton, Emily and Tyler, who
I was lucky enough to sit down with yesterday and

(00:43):
started by asking Ashton about his role in the play.
Which role do you play?

Goodness knows, there's many adventures to be head out. The
Deputy principal Sereer grieves, saying it's been so called watch
students and teachers putting their hearts and souls into preparing
this adventure. To say that we're so proud of the
immense talent would be an understatement. That's pretty neat a.

the Bread Rivers Trust, many of the school community heading
