00:00So we're here at the Charlton School in Wellington and we're with head teacher, principal, what do I call you?
00:05Principal.
00:05What's your name, sir?
00:06Andrew McNaughton.
00:07So it's a bit of a festival, Andrew. What's going on and what we're calling it? I'm loving the name.
00:12Yeah, so this is our Charltonbury Festival, which has been going for many years.
00:16It's a show with music and dance, not just from Charlton students, but from students in primary schools and local secondary schools as well.
00:24And there's quite a few different performances taking place, isn't there? We're on till like early evening, aren't we?
00:29Yeah, we do. We start at four o'clock and we kick off the show with all of our local feeder primary schools.
00:34And then we move into the evening with the performers from other secondary schools.
00:37And then we finish the night from about 5.30 onwards with acts from Charlton again, with bands, individual performances and dancing as well.
00:44Awesome work. And how long have you been principal, head teacher here?
00:48I've been here nine years now.
00:49And you're leaving? You're off?
00:51I am. This is my last Charltonbury, but I'm hoping I'll be invited back as a guest.
00:54It's a fantastic evening. Throughout the evening, we have about a thousand visitors come and go.
00:59Seeing the primaries and the different acts.
01:01We've got craft stores. We've got food stores.
01:03It's a well-established event in the Charlton calendar.
01:06And it's something that we look forward to all year.
01:09Great stuff. Well, thank you for all the work you've put into it, sir.
01:12And all the best pastures now for yourself.
01:14Thank you very much.
01:15Thank you very much.
