Making fun of their teachers saw a South Auckland school barbershop quartet take out top prize at this year's Stand Up, Stand Out competition. Aorere College's What the Fourth won the group's vocal section of the annual event, with entertaining observations about some of their teachers.

South Auckland schools dominated the winners' circle of the annual event, which gives young performers the chance to take the first steps down the path toward an entertaining career.

What the Fourth members were also part of the band Pocket-8 who came runners-up to Tangaroa College's C6 in the best band category while singer Andrew Faiai, competed in the solo instrumental category. This was won by Risnm Tangianau, the first ever competitor from a private training establishment, who stole the show playing guitar, drums and a loop pedal.

Ahoy ye families!

Grab a torch and join our adventurers and suffer a sailor’s life on-board, as we navigate the southern oceans with Cook and company.

It’s going to be all hands on deck as you learn how to behave in His Majesty’s Royal Navy – avoid the dreaded cat o’ nine tails and sample some delightful 18th century naval food. Mmmm, pease porridge, anyone?

Discover stories and traditions of tangata whenua as encountered by that first bewildered bunch of seafarers. And how do you communicate if you don’t speak the same language? Try to dodge muddles and mix-ups once we reach the Pacific.

● TUE 1, WED 2, THU 3, SUN 6, FRI 11 & SUN 13 OCT, 6PM - 8.30PM​
● $25 EARLYBIRD (UNTIL 8 SEP), $30 GENERAL ADMISSION
