2022 Musical

The school musical each year is undeniably one of the biggest events in the Mazenod calendar and our performance of Shrek marked the eagerly anticipated return of a MATCO production after three years of waiting. Not only did it bring students from both Mazenod and Avila together to create a two hour show, but it also gave us the amazing opportunity to create new, strong and long lasting friendships. The connections that all of us have shared over the five months of rehearsals have become incredibly special, valuable and memorable. year was particularly exciting as we got to perform all five shows without a hitch. As each night went on, the crowd got louder and so we would give them everything that we had to truly make this a fantastic return to the stage, not just for us but also for the audience to remember too.

The musical each year becomes such a rewarding experience and even though there were certainly challenges and risks that came about, successfully getting through it all and showcasing our efforts, talents and pure joy on stage made it worth the long wait. Mazenod and Avila staff member as well as the wonderful talents of the students onstage, backstage and behind the scenes that were able to make this show possible and as immaculate as it ended up being.

Even though this is the end of the musical journey for Year 12 students, the strong communal essence of those involved with Shrek was unforgettable. Everyone that was a part of the production will remember it fondly and I am sure that it will become some of the most treasured memories that we have when looking back at our time at Mazenod.
