This year’s production promises to be a spectacular showcase of the talents of the school’s students, with incredible vocal performances, stunning choreography, and beautiful costumes.

The musical team have been working tirelessly for months to bring this show to life and are excited to share it with the local community. Students will sing in chorus and individually and there will be some marvellous dance routines courtesy of choreographer Honor Hurley.

“Up to 100 students have come together to bring the best of entertainment to the school gym which will be transformed into a theatre,” said Director Oliver Hurley who is very excited about this year’s production.  “These extremely talented students will enthral you in this song and dance spectacle.”

It is a great opportunity to showcase their passion for music and drama. We are so proud of their hard work and dedication and can’t wait for the audience to experience their amazing performances.”

The show is open to the entire  community, as well as family and friends, and is a great way to come together and enjoy an evening of entertainment.
