BEHIND THE SCENES

I think the school show is such a lovely experience for all age groups, not just because of the performance but also because of how sociable and fun every rehearsal is. - Sami Abdelhadi, Year 12

The one thing that I have enjoyed most about the school show are the people in it, as no matter what year group you are in you are sure to make friends with everyone.. - Na'ima Piper Year 10

Being part of the school show is an amazing opportunity to be creative as well as bond with classmates, and to have fun. - Violette Verbeke, Year 12

The school show provides a brilliant platform to learn life skills, such as stage presence - and to develop confidence. It’s an incredible creative outlet! - Sean Finucane, Year 9

The school show not only fosters creative skills in musical theatre, but creates a wonderful community of people who may have not usually interacted with each other - Saif Al-Qaimi, Year 11

The school show is easily one of the highlights of the year because it's lovely being part of such a vibrant and friendly community. - Laila Abu El-huda, Year 11

As a child, I always looked up to the BSAK kids in the school shows, and being one of them is an unmatched experience. Of course the final performance is a whirlwind of emotions, but I have also made friends for life in these casts. I look forward to every rehearsal and am so lucky to be a part of something so special. - Emma Clews, Year 12
