Dear Parents and Carers,
We have had an incredible week devoted to our school musical! It was a joy to see our students perform and to gather as a school community.
I would like to thank all of our parents who came to support our students and the audiences who cheered them on
The production was a great success and we are very appreciative to all who assisted to bring the performances all together. I am very proud of the students who performed, as well as the huge team of people behind the scenes who offered their support.
I would like to give a special mention to Mrs Anthea Field, Miss Tahlia Wallison, Mrs Emily Wiltshire and Mr Esa Harri, who were heavily involved in all aspects of the production from the beginning stages until the final performances. They worked closely with our students and made a fantastic team to ensure success
Recordings of the evening shows will become available in the near future and we will communicate more information about that in the weeks ahead and how you can obtain a copy
May God bless you and your family, have a wonderful weekend.
Chris Drowley Director of Primary Learning
