Budding Cranbourne actors living dangerously By Rose Butera CRANBOURNE - This year the grade 5 and 6 students at St. Agatha’s primary school performed the production Danger Kids. The students worked tirelessly throughout term three to produce this spectacular event. The school hall was transformed into a mini theatre, with staging, screens and lighting for
the production. The production was a musical comedy filled with singing and dancing with many jokes thrown in as well. Danger Kids is about a criminal mastermind and his “hired help” that try to take over the world. The Danger Kids are four kids sent to do special missions for the Heads Of Government. The Danger Kids have to work
very hard to stop Carlo San Francisco (the bad guy) from launching a rocket. The Danger Kids travel around the world to track down Carlo, collecting clues along the way. While on their travels they meet the Runaway Legionnaires, Maxwell Smarty Pants and his assistant 98.6 and The Von Shut Your Trapp family singers.
At the end of their journey they find themselves at Mystery Manor, where Carlo San Francisco’s plans are foiled and all’s well that ends well, The students worked throughout the term learning their lines, working on painting sets and props. The students worked as whole senior unit and performed two
shows for the school community. All who attended the show thoroughly enjoyed watching the students perform. I was very proud of all the students, watching them improve and produce such a spectacular event, whilst learning and having fun all at the same time.

Computer to aid East Timor venture BAIRNSDALE - The Bairnsdale Friends of East Timor in partnership with Nagle College, have been providing aid to the students of San Antonio’s School in Baucau, East Timor for a number of years. The well-known Lunch Project provides the students with a simple meal of beans and rice at least three days a week, enabling students to better concentrate on their studies. The BFOET also assist students beyond their secondary education at San Antonio’s by providing scholarships for students to go on to tertiary study in Yogjakarta. Saturnino Patricio Soares is one such student who is studying second year electrical engineering. On graduation, his new qualification will be invaluable to the on-going development of East Timor.
THE Danger Kids out to save the world from Carlo San Francisco.
Saturtino has found that his studies at tertiary level are very difficult in the absence of a laptop computer. So, through the generosity of the Nagle College Leadership Team, a laptop computer has been donated in response to this very real need. Frank Brown-Graham, the president of the Bairnsdale Friends of East Timor, very gratefully accepted the laptop computer from the Nagle College ICT co-ordinator, Brendyn Hancock. Mr Brown-Graham and other members of the BFOET make regular trips to East Timor to assist in various aspects of the San Antonio School, and the donation of a laptop computer to Saturnino will be a very welcome investment. This is just one more example of a great collaboration on an international project by the local community.
