Cabaret

The 2019 annual Karamu Cabaret “A Starry Night” was an unforgettable evening for Year 13 students. The students arrived in style, glamorously dressed to match the charmingly decorated Cheval Rooms at the Hastings Racecourse. When the students entered the venue, they walked through doors framed with ivy and fairy lights with subtle hints of glitter here and there. The tables were decorated with sparkly table runners and shimmering silver stars that lit beautiful ivy-covered candelabras, and this was all thanks to an amazing team of students who spent their time decorating the venue. It was a great night spent with friends, dancing and laughing while being accompanied by live music and a DJ. A scrumptious three-course meal was provided, and the night was all captured by a professional photographer, Neil Mackenzie, and of course a photo booth, to ensure the memories of this night would not be forgotten. The King of the Cabaret, Daniel Stuart, was dressed in a navy-blue suit with a floral shirt, a striking maroon tie and a matching pocket square paired with classic brown dress boots. The Queen of the Cabaret, Briar Fraser, was dressed in a sky-blue fishtail gown with a lace bodice, paired with pink and blue floral strappy heels, and a classic art deco hairstyle. The Prince of the Cabaret, Te Au Skipworth, was dressed in a sheer black shirt with a dazzling golden suit jacket paired with classic black pants and dress shoes. The Princess, Tia Ward was dressed in a modern, rose gold, sparkly jumpsuit paired with white platform heels and her hair was elegantly slicked back in a high ponytail.

It was a night for the Year 13 students to celebrate their last year and the time they have had at Karamu and it would not have been possible without Mr Wooster and the team of students that organized this unforgettable evening. Article by Briar Fraser
