Congratulations to our Amazing Cast of Aladdin Jr!
We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible efforts of all our students who brought Aladdin Jr to life on stage! From the dazzling performances to the teamwork behind the scenes, every student showed dedication, talent and enthusiasm. Their hard work and commitment made for a truly magical musical experience. Well done to everyone involved, you have made us all so proud!
A special thank you goes to our amazing teachers and school leadership team. Their guidance, patience, and creativity in rehearsals and behind the scenes ensured the production ran smoothly and that every student felt supported and confident to shine.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents and carers. Your encouragement, cheering from the side lines, and support at home gave our students the confidence to do their best. Your belief in their abilities and consistent support made a huge difference to the success of the musical.
Please know, It is not too late to grab your Aladdin 2025 memento wristband, with the last few still on sale at our school office! Year 6 families, additional media will be shared with you when available.
As the Performing Arts teacher, I would like to thank the entire school community for making this musical such a memorable and joyful experience. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and support helped bring Aladdin Jr to life.

Kind regards,
Brittany Pholi

This year, we have created a digital Volunteer Handbook and an online induction process to ensure that the information is accessible to parents/carers at a time that suits them.
