From The Principals

Hello VPS families, what a massive two weeks we have had! Our performances of, 'What a Knight!' were an absolute triumph. We were so proud of each of the students who were part of the show and loved seeing the talent, enthusiasm and beaming smiles. Opportunities to be involved in events such as this are so important, and give students a chance to shine in different ways. We would like to thank the parents and family members who came along and supported the cast each night. Performing to such a large crows is both terrifying and exciting, and I am sure the students involved have created life long memories of this special time. 

Of course events such as productions take an incredible amount of work, and we are so grateful to all the teachers, parents and other volunteers who supported the preparations and rehearsals. Although a team effort, we would like to make a special mention of the enormous amount of work from Mr Fraser and Ms Monypenny in their creative vision, direction and encouragement of all students who took part.
