High School Students can make excellent use of their free time over the summer break by brushing up on their college preparations.

Students should make (and maintain) a list of their awards, honors, paid or volunteer work/activities, together with other extracurricular activities they have done. They may consider participating in academic enrichment programs, summer workshops, and camps with specialty focuses such as music, arts, and science.

Middle schoolers from Niu Valley Middle School will perform Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, The Mikado, next Wednesday, June 29, at 6:00 p.m. 

In preparation for the event, the twenty-three middle schoolers painted sets, shaped swords and fans, and decorated kimono costumes.

They constructed a taiko drum including the stand and shared it with Kenny Endo when he came out to talk to them about the art of taiko.

To prepare them for the opera, Hawaii Opera Theatre arranged for a speaker from the Japan-America of Hawai’i Society to come and share the origami craft and took the students on a tour of the Japanese exhibit at the Honolulu Academy of Arts.

The event is free and open to the public.

Honolulu Waldorf awards 15 diplomas at Mamiya Theater

The Honolulu Waldorf School class of 2011 received diplomas at the Mamiya Theater on Sunday, June 5.

The 15 seniors, collectively offered $166,000 in scholarships, were led by valedictorian Julia DeHoff.. A superb all-around scholar, DeHoff recently stood out in the senior class play as Helena in an unconventional version of the Shakespeare comedy, "Midsummer Night's Dream."

Pakistani native Arsalan Danish, who distinguished himself with art projects in his one year at the school and wants to study film production, took the microphone  as one of two senior class speakers. He exhorted his classmates with a quote from the 13th century Persian poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi, who said, "You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?"

Alexander Stannard-Abe, an outstanding amateur skimboarder who aspires to a career in marine biology, was the other senior speaker. 

Honolulu Waldorf students close the 2010-2011 school year

Nearly the entire student body along with teachers and parents crowded into the Niu Valley campus auditorium on Friday, June 3, for the Honolulu Waldorf School closing ceremonies.

The school, which will celebrate its 50th year this fall, said goodbye to several veteran teachers and 15 graduating seniors in the morning event.

Seniors, seated on the small stage, were called one by to receive roses, leis and hugs from second graders.

The student body sang Hawaii Aloha to end the ceremonies.

The event is usually held outdoors but a downpour forced it inside the small auditorium. It was the first time that students from the two campuses occupied the facility at the same time.,

Honolulu Waldorf has campuses at 350 Ulua Street in Niu Valley (lower school grades) and at 5257 Kalanianaole Highway in Aina Haina (high school).
