Good luck to the Primary children who are participating tonight in the Tadra Kahani concert. Last year's winner was the little school in Pacific Harbour, but as their teacher says, all of the dancers/singers/performers are winners. Way to go!
From Fiji Village:
Primary Schools to take center stage tonight
Publish date/time: 18/08/2010 [07:36]
It’s D-day for the 10 schools participating in the Junior Division finals of the FM96 Tadra Kahani with TFL and Fijivillage as they will take center stage tonight to highlight to the nation issues affecting various sectors of our society. The 10 schools will portray themes such as the Gift of Motherhood, Our Culture and Heritage-Our future, Protect Fiji to Protect Me and Throwing Daylight on Tomorrow's Darkness, amongst others.

This year the 10 schools get only one shot to get their message across before the winner is crowned and defending champions in the Junior division, Pacific Harbour Multi cultural school, with their theme "We are all winners" is expected to put up stiff competition for the other schools.

However, liaison teacher Lutua Dominika said they strongly believe that the essence of Tadra kahani clearly reflects their theme.Dominika said the Deuba based school is fortunate to have supportive parents who are talented and helped out in their backdrop and painting and music.

Pacific Harbour Multi Cultural School will be defending its Junior Division title tonight against, International Primary School, Rishikul Primary School, Bainivalu Primary School, St Agnes Primary School, St Joseph the Worker, Drasa Avenue School, Nakelo District School, Ratu Ravuama Memorial School and Nadi Airport School.

The senior division finals will be held tomorrow night with 14 schools battling it out for top honours.

Tickets are being sold at the home of Fijivillage at 231 Waimanu Road, Village Six Cinemas Suva and Sugar Cane Growers Council Building in Lautoka.

Tadra Kahani - Dreams and Visions

Good luck to the children who are performing tonight at the Tadra Kahani concert. School is not only about lesson time but also includes the inspiration of practicing songs and drama. The themes of conservation and other relevant issues are certainly worth putting into song and dance for our young people - while their elders muck about with politicing and wish-lists on paper.

With themes like Unity and Integration of the Human Being, The Dream of a Child, The Diary/Suicide Prevention, Technology De-humanises, Promoting technical and vocational training in schools, Communication and the Media, it was clear that the secondary school students want their messages to be seen and heard. They want to make a difference and hope that the leaders, decision makers and adults come out in numbers in the final night tonight to see what the young adults have to say.

Defending champs, Monfort Boys Town say they are ready for tonight. Ratu Kadavulevu School is also excited about tonight. Meanwhile Suva Grammar School said people should check them out tonight. And first timers, Cuvu College who qualified for tonight's final are really confident.

In the Primary Division, defending champions, Draiba Fijian School, Veiuto Primary, Nakelo District, Nabitu District and International School Suva will go for top honours in the finals tonight.

While middle-aged wolves huff and puff and try to blow the house down, teachers and children are gearing up for the Tadra Kahani. This year’s festival has been launched and the main events will be on next week in Suva. Primary, Secondary, Tertiary students will entertain on Wednesday, 12 September, and Thursday, 13 September 2007 at the Vodafone Arena, Laucala Bay, Suva.

Tadra – is Fijian for dreaming, and Kahani is Hindi for story. Way to go.

Greenpeace have posted some fabulous photographs of the dancing at the youth festival last year.

The poster making competition for Tadra Kahani is a creative way to get the children thinking of the theme ‘Positive Lifestyles’ and Fiji Village posted many great pictures of the children at work on their art.I have reposted some of them here:
